The status rests on two undated Meta pages: the U.S. location list, which gives 2024 as the groundbreaking year, and the fact sheet, which describes the data center in the future tense. status_as_of is therefore the date both were read (2026-10-09). The fact sheet PDF shows no publication date; its embedded file creation date is 2026-09-01.

Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
