Signal notes
Codename "Project Bigfoot"; announced March 2024, under construction. land_acres (280) is the initial parcel from UMore Park; Meta later bought 200+ additional acres for $70 million, so total land is 480+ acres — the 280 figure is the sourced initial acquisition. investment_usd (800,000,000) is the announced build figure. The $800M figure is reported as corroborated by KSTP (walz-to-announce-expansion...) per the source note, but only the CBS News URL is citable here, so aggregate confidence is medium (single citable source).
