Conflicts. Incentives: the June announcement says there are no electric-rate incentives. A ConstructConnect summary, not opened here, says the county approved a property-tax incentive framework in December 2025. Both can be true, because one covers electric rates and the other property tax. The same summary gives 17 buildings; that figure is not confirmed in the source read here.
