Notes on the record

Status re-checked 2026-09-09: no change, stays proposed. Metro Council authorised eminent domain on 2026-08-04, DC BLOX sued on 2026-08-11, and as of this check no ruling on its preliminary-injunction request has been reported; two zoning challenges are not heard until at least December 2026. investmentUsd left unset - $23 million is the land purchase price, not the project investment, and the widely quoted "$700 million" figure could not be sourced to a page fetched in this run.
