What the source establishes

  • The cited source identifies the operator and the Boydton (Mecklenburg County) data-center location. [1]
  • This page does not treat a cloud-region label, building size, or investment as a power figure unless the source explicitly provides one.
  • The pin is intentionally approximate so searchers can identify the relevant community without being misled into treating it as a parcel boundary.

Questions local records should answer

  • Which parcels and phases are covered by current permits?
  • What power, water, backup-generation, and tax arrangements apply to the specific campus?
  • What public meetings, conditions, or environmental permits remain active?

How to verify a change

  1. Search city or county agendas for the operator and campus name.
  2. Check utility, water, and air-permit files separately.
  3. Compare a current local document with the operator’s location statement before relying on a capacity number.
