Signal notes
announced_date "2007" from "selected 2007". status "operational/expanding" normalized to operational; the enum has no "expanding" state — ongoing growth captured here: signal reports a $600M expansion in 2024 and a fresh $1B expansion in 2026. investment_usd left blank: the signal gives two expansion figures ($600M in 2024, $1B in 2026) rather than a single site investment total; summing would invent a number, so the figures are recorded in notes only. Single reputable secondary source.
