## Data quality

- The QTS official page distinguishes FTW1 DC1 at 14100 Park Vista Boulevard from FTW1 DC2 at 14052 Park Vista Boulevard. The exact-asset research therefore excludes DC2 and unrelated QTS campuses.
- State regulatory records confirm multiple exact-address projects, including the FTW1 DC1 Expansion and the FTW1 DC2 addition. These records establish site identity and project activity but do not establish public hearings, community support, or opposition.
- A Tarrant County tax-abatement document found during research also names 14100 Park Vista Boulevard, but it concerns Winner LLC/Ernst LLC and Facebook rather than QTS; it is excluded from the QTS findings to avoid entity conflation.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
