SOURCE RECORD

Vantage Data Centers Frontier Campus: source record

under_construction

COUNTY CONFLICT RESOLVED TOWARD SHACKELFORD: TDLR TABS registration lists Shackelford County and DCD reporting confirms Shackelford County, ~35 miles NE of Abilene, despite an Abilene 79601 mailing address and aggregator listings placing it in Taylor County. Included here because it is functionally part of the Abilene cluster; Shackelford is adjacent to, not inside, the brief's listed county set. Reported building/cost figures differ across sources ($11B local reporting vs >$25B DCD).
