The source note says the 300 MW trade-coverage figure is not stated in the cited state announcement. The upstream row remains attributed below, but this value is not repeated as site capacity.
The underlying provider record is retained. These notes add source-attributed context and flag conflicts; any withheld value is explained separately. They do not certify current operation.
- Source review · reviewed 2026-10-11: Prior source review (2026-10-09): Cherokee County’s June 23, 2025 minutes record third-reading adoption of Ordinance 2025-22 for a fee-in-lieu-of-tax and special-source revenue credit agreement. The minutes identify Project Kingfisher as Cielo at Ford Road in Gaffney. This establishes adoption of the tax agreement; it does not establish a land-use approval, building permit or construction start. Historical document addendum reviewed 2026-10-11: Cherokee County Council minutes record Project Kingfisher incentive steps: Resolution 2025-02 and first reading of Ordinance 2025-22 on May 19, 2025; second reading on June 2; third reading on June 23. The resolution describes a fee-in-lieu-of-tax and special-source revenue-credit agreement under conditions. January 5, 2026 minutes record third reading of Ordinance 2025-25 confirming and ratifying the jointly operated industrial/business park with Spartanburg County for Project Kingfisher. These incentive and park actions do not establish an executed agreement, land-use approval, building permits or construction. The county's code name alone does not bind the company's legal entity.

What the source record says
Announcement describes four buildings of roughly 400,000 sq ft each plus an associated electrical substation, at '000 Ford Road, Gaffney'. Initial operations expected online by year-end 2028. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of Ford Road — no parcel-level location was published. A 300 MW full-build-out figure appears in trade coverage but is not stated in the state announcement, so capacity is omitted here.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
