Evidence
What the evidence supports
IEDC's 2024 announcement described up to $98.3 million across four listed credit/grant programs, a separate DATA sales-and-use-tax exemption, and up to $7 million for roads. Project 424567 portal records retrieved 12 September 2026 show HBI $55 million Executed with $0 paid/certified; EDGE $18.3 million Executed with $160,947 paid/certified; RTC $20 million in Post Term Reporting Period with $20 million paid/certified; and SEF $5 million Pending Accepted Offer. The DATA agreement lists an $800 million minimum qualified investment by 31 December 2038, an $11 billion extension test by 31 December 2043, and a maximum exemption deadline of 31 December 2073; section 6.D preserves IEDC discretion to deny, suspend, or extend the exemption if the $11 billion extension test is missed. These are portal fields and contract terms—not proof that benefits, jobs, or completed investment were independently observed.
Still unknown
Benefits earned, claimed and received; the meaning of DATA's $611,502,328 Paid/Certified to Date field; whether SEF is executed; RTC status meaning; independently observed jobs and placed-in-service investment.
