The source note identifies 2.4 GW as a Northwest Indiana regional total, not Hobart-specific capacity. The upstream row remains attributed below, but this value is not repeated as site capacity.
What the source record says
One of AWS's Northwest Indiana campuses (part of a $15B NW Indiana / 2.4 GW umbrella; distinct from aws-project-rainier-new-carlisle-in and the separate Wheatfield IN campus). CAPACITY OMITTED: the 2.4 GW figure is the NW Indiana total, not Hobart-specific. INVESTMENT OMITTED: $15B is the NW Indiana total, no Hobart-specific figure. Up to 25 buildings on 725+ acres ('Hobart Tech Park'); shell entities include Hobart Devco, Hobart Owner LLC, TUHAUS LLC/Wylie Capital. ~400 permanent jobs ($37-44/hr) are projections (in notes, not jobs). $47M upfront community payment is city revenue, not facility capex. Coordinates estimated from 61st Ave/Colorado St; verify via Lake County GIS. Active litigation: 'No Data Centers Hobart Indiana' sought a TRO on the fill permit (unresolved).
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
