What one campus pays a local government
The parent piece's calculator puts a single large campus at $2M to $90M a year in local revenue, depending on the tax regime and abatements. The reference campus (Project Blue scale: $3.6B of capital, 286 MW) pays about $157M to local governments over 10 years. Permanent jobs run around 50 per facility.

|---|---|---|---|
| Aggressive abatement | Morrow County OR (enterprise zone) | $2M | $3M |
