1.8 GW DFW-area campus (Grand Prairie): 24 buildings across three phases with an on-site 1.8 GW switchyard. Grand Prairie spans Dallas/Tarrant/Ellis counties; the campus is in the Ellis County (southern) portion. Coordinates reflect the southern Grand Prairie / Ellis County zone. Provident cited 'at least $5B in direct construction impact' over the multi-year build-out (Bisnow) and ~$300M for one 360,000-sq-ft building (Dallas Innovates) - neither a confirmed campus capex pledge -> investmentUsd omitted. Ellis County adopted Chapter 312 abatement guidelines (~Oct 2025, $50M threshold); no executed abatement agreement for this campus was found.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
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.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
