notes: >-
  Record scoped to Microsoft's New Albany campus, which is the only Licking
  County campus with per-site metrics in the source. investment_usd 420000000
  is the New-Albany-specific figure; the same source also reports ~$1 billion
  total across three Licking County campuses (New Albany / Heath / Hebron) —
  the two figures are different scopes, not a conflict, and are not summed or
  averaged. building_sqft 245000, land_acres 200, operational_date "late 2027".
  Status "site preparation" mapped to under-construction. The Heath and Hebron
  campuses are named by the source but carry no per-site data yet; they warrant
  their own records once site-level facts arrive rather than being merged here.
  All facts from a single low-confidence advocacy source.
