What this covers. 9 checked claims so far on this topic. They concern data-center projects in Indiana (5), Ohio (3) and Texas (1). That is because those are the taxes & incentives claims DataCenterData has checked, not a count of claims or of data centers. Where a state, operator, project or topic shows no checked claim, read it as “not yet checked by DataCenterData”.
What a verdict means. A verdict applies only to the wording shown and the evidence linked on the check date. “Unknown” means the reviewed evidence did not establish the point; it never means zero or false.
