Grid & water — why here
source: HIFLD · EPAThe closest existing grid infrastructure and the municipal water system this location sits in — the same constraints the buildout model screens on (it won't site a campus more than ~2 km from a substation or ~5 km from municipal water). Distances are straight-line to public HIFLD/EPA features, not a metered connection.

Tax breaks & subsidies
source: Good Jobs First / GASB 77No per-deal tax break is linked to this site yet. No state discloses the recipient of a data-center abatement at the facility level, so per-site deals are rare in the public record.

North Dakota reported $19.4M in Qualified Data Center sales/use tax exemption for enterprise IT equipment & computer software (N.D.C.C. § 57-39.2-04.17) for FY2024 (North Dakota Legislative Council / Office of State Tax Commissioner (testimony)). Program-wide, not attributable to this site.
