- The company will underwrite nearly $200 million in energy infrastructure, including network upgrades, substations and transmission lines.
- Meta pledged dry-cooling with no operational cooling water demand, to match electricity use with 100% renewable energy and to restore all water consumed to local watersheds.
- A partnership with Ducks Unlimited will restore 570 acres of wetlands and prairie, with roughly 175 acres to be deeded to the conservation group.
- State and local deals include a sales-tax exemption, a tax increment district and city-issued developer-funded bonds up to $110 million, as some residents protested over transparency and environmental concerns.
