What the source record says
Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Checked the Construction Dive article (2026-09-10) about this $600M, 290,000 sq ft facility (Whiting-Turner as general contractor); it covers only project economics and site-selection rationale ('energy infrastructure, developable land and available workforce'). No community reaction, hearing, or official statement documented in this source -- despite The Dalles being a site with an extensively documented history of Google water-use controversy in past years, none of that appears in this particular article, so it is not reflected here.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
No status history was supplied in this edition.
Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

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.
