These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Provider community note: The community note names a private resident quoted in local press, so the note is held out of the public page.
What the source record says
Coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for Conway Municipal Airport at Cantrell Field, whose OSM record places it on Lollie Road - the road named in reporting as the project's location ('Southwest Conway near Lollie Road and the Conway Municipal Airport area'). This is a landmark-level approximation, not a parcel. The end user is an unnamed Fortune 100 company; ForgeLight Ventures LLC is a Delaware shell with no in-state presence, so 'operator' here records the developer of record, not a confirmed operating company. A 300,000-square-foot building size is reported but square footage is not a schema field. A reported 65% tax abatement over 30 years appeared only in a search-result summary of a paywalled trade article that could not be fetched, so no subsidies entry is recorded. Confidence 'reported': the project has an MOU and rezoning but no named end user and no permit.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
