Power capacity in megawatts
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy: The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area: The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
