Signal notes
Proposed ~1 sq mile gas-fueled (on-site power) data center off the Dalton Highway in the North Slope Borough, AK. State of Alaska issued a preliminary decision on 2026-05-12 to lease the property; recorded here as `announced` (preliminary lease decision, not yet permitted) — announced_date set to that decision date. investment_usd (~$500 million per source) recorded as 500000000 (approximate). land_acres = 640 is editorially converted from the source's "~1 square mile" (1 sq mi = 640 acres), disclosed here per precision-is-sourced-or-disclosed (KB-0002); no acreage figure was given directly. No operator or developer is named in the signals, so both fields are omitted. Single source (Alaska Beacon) → confidence medium.
