Data Fields
Source leads point to attached records or reporting. They still need field-level review before being treated as verified evidence.
Historical source lead: dataset project_cost field reports $1 billion, and reporting said the proposal could have received local and state tax incentives. Because the proposal was withdrawn, incentive records should be tracked as historical or reopened only if the project returns.
Historical source lead: reporting and residents raised water-use, groundwater, and environmental concerns during the rezoning fight. Google later withdrew the proposal, so new water records should only be pursued if the project returns.
Historical source lead: reporting raised electricity-cost and utility-impact concerns for the proposed campus, but Google withdrew the rezoning request before final council action. Interconnection or ratepayer records should be treated as historical unless the project returns.
