Provider notes
Water. Developer describes a closed-loop system requiring a one-time fill of less than half an Olympic pool, with ongoing operational water use projected below that of two average single-family homes.
Community. An online petition against the project had 8,347 signatures as of 28 July 2026; the developer launched an informational website in response, characterising the objections as misinformation.
