Plain-language briefing

What does this mean for my community?

The campus could bring 3,500 workers during construction, but settles at about 200 permanent jobs. Under this deal, modeled gross public receipts are worth $812.5M today, before unquantified public costs; $0 is given up versus charging the full modeled tax.

Modeled receipts — not net benefit

What may stay local?

PRELIMINARY
20-year gross public receipts$812.5M
Local procurement$1.5B
Annual operations payroll$17.0M

Not yet deducted: roads, emergency services, administration, housing mitigation, opportunity cost, or possible utility cost shifts. Until those are quantified, this is not net public benefit.

MODEL FLAGS

↳ Unemployment of 1.8% means construction labor must largely in-migrate.

↳ Facility draw exceeds adjacent generation capacity (160%).
