Data Fields
Source leads point to attached records or reporting. They still need field-level review before being treated as verified evidence.
Source lead: dataset project_cost field reports $15 billion. Logan County regulation and moratorium records show local governance activity, but incentive, abatement, infrastructure, land, and public-cost records still need review.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Logan County's official October 14, 2025 commissioners minutes describe a proposed Granite Renewables project near County Road 9 but do not establish a cooling method, water source, water right, withdrawal, consumption, or wastewater quantity. Preserve the earlier regional-water concern as unresolved context, not facility use.
