What remains uncertain

Investment figures conflict across reports ($10 billion, about $15 billion initially, and up to $800 billion over 40 years attributed to the county or to industrial revenue bonds); none is stated by Meta, which calls it a potential project.
Per the county attorney the project company is Crisham LLC; initial construction is expected to begin within 36 months and the full build-out to take at least 10 years. Total capacity and acreage (2,000 vs about 2,900 acres) are not settled; a lawsuit over zoning has been filed.
EKPC is reported as able to supply power; no power agreement is published.
