  1. Crusoe · September 28, 2026

    Crusoe identified itself as developer of Google's campus near Amarillo. Groundbreaking was June 2025, not September 2026. More than 5,500 daily on-site skilled laborers reported by the developer. Traveling share, overnight stays and today's headcount are unverified.

    Event: June 2025 groundbreaking; September 28, 2026 workforce disclosure. Reviewed Oct 1, 2026.

  2. Micron · September 30, 2026, prepared remarks p. 2

    Micron's September 30 update keeps ID1 and ID2 on separate output schedules. These dates do not identify contractor arrivals or lodging demand. No dated construction headcount or overnight housing requirement in this update.

    Event: September 30, 2026 schedule update. Reviewed Oct 1, 2026.

  3. Micron · September 30, 2026, prepared remarks p. 2

    September 30 prepared remarks reaffirm New York's 2030 initial wafer-output target. The concrete pour is a prior-quarter milestone, not a new September groundbreaking. No dated construction headcount or overnight housing requirement in this update.

    Event: September 30, 2026 schedule update; concrete milestone previously reported July 9. Reviewed Oct 1, 2026.

  4. Microsoft · June 23, 2026

    June 23 announcement: first facility operational; second facility foundations, steel and utilities underway. This resolves an older record, not a September event. Nearly 10,000 cumulative construction contributors over two years; nearly 550 full-time staff at the first facility as of June. Neither is current traveling construction demand.

    Event: Operational by June 23, 2026; startup activities in April 2026. Reviewed Oct 1, 2026.
