Notes on the record
The investment figure ($400M) is Phase 1 only, down from a provisional $1.3B. The 8-building, 2M sq ft master plan has later buildings planned for 2028-2029. County incentives were secured in March 2024. Under-construction status comes from a directory listing and the TDLR schedule. Coordinates are the Lockhart city point.
