The concern I had - having driven by it, is the one substation across the street seems to be tapped out. There is a ton of conduit next to it, my guess is for pullung juice under the road to the new building, but that will tap that substation out which could create a point of failure. Especially with DFT around the corner pulling down a lot of KW too... I have driven by the land and it’s a nice spot, and will likely look like the other buildings on the site.
