## Data quality

- The exact asset is Flexential’s Dallas–Plano facility at 3500 East Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas—not the separate CoreWeave project at 1000 Coit Road or the separate west-Plano data-center proposal.
- The 2025 TDLR record describes renovation/alteration inside the existing facility, with no hard construction, new partitions, or change in use.
- No facility-specific community organization, petition, public-hearing record, opposition campaign, or litigation was identified in the reviewed exact-address sources and searches; absence from these sources is not proof that no unindexed record exists.
- The sources contain technical and commercial details, but this answer does not infer additional water use, power demand, PUE/WUE, building counts, employment, or commercial terms beyond what the cited sources explicitly report.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
