Signal notes
Operating since 2007 ($600M initial investment); exact first-building operational year not verified beyond 'established 2007' (operational ~2009 is approximate). Two sites: near Lake Manawa, and the Southlands campus (four buildings / 2.9M sqft) on the southern edge of Council Bluffs, with active 2025 expansion. investment_usd omitted: figures conflict by scope and none is cleanly Council-Bluffs-specific — $7B over two years covers both the CB expansion and a separate Cedar Rapids campus; ~$6.8B prior Iowa spend (DCD); >$20B statewide cumulative since 2007 (Google).
