Signal notes
One of two distinct AWS campuses announced under a single June 2025 Pennsylvania program; the other is the Falls Township campus in Bucks County (recorded separately as aws-falls-township). This campus is reported as being sited next to the Susquehanna nuclear plant (sig-20260706-aws-pa-status), consistent with Salem Township, Luzerne County. Program-wide totals ($20bn investment, 15 buildings) are reported jointly for both campuses and are held on the aws-falls-township record as program context, not attributed per site. The location signal (sig-20260706-aws-pa-location) names both campuses and is listed on both site records as the shared source of each locality.
