Card → eyebrow = state/country ("oregon", "DENMARK", "canada"), title = town ("Prineville"), excerpt = "$2 billion+
investment | 2010 break ground | 1,000 skilled trade workers … | 350+ operational jobs …". Extracted:
name "Meta <Town> Data Center", city/state/country (curated coordinates, precision `city`; counties/parishes such as
Sarpy, Henrico, Richland Parish, Stanton Springs, Sturgeon County → `approximate`), `constructionStartedOn` = break-ground
year, `externalIds.published_investment` (+ parsed amount/currency when `parseMoney` understands it), info-sheet PDF
and Facebook page links. Same-name towns are guarded by the state (Lebanon IN, Kansas City MO, Montgomery AL).

**Status is a documented heuristic** because the page never states it: break-ground year > current year → `announced`;
≥ current year − 1 → `under_construction` (5 sites: Sturgeon County, Lebanon, Tulsa, El Paso, Beaver Dam…); older →
`unknown` (28 sites — Prineville 2010, Altoona 2013, … are left for reconciliation with other sources rather than
assumed operational). The description carries the published excerpt verbatim. Info sheets are 1–2 MB PDFs, not fetched.
Location pages exist (`/richland-parish-data-center/`, `/ohio-new-albany/` in `page-sitemap.xml`) and could later
provide status text.

## meta-news (newsroom)

Feed `about.fb.com/feed/` (10 items, mostly product news, filtered on title/summary before fetch) + sitemap
`datacenters.atmeta.com/post-sitemap.xml` (~68 dated posts: "Kansas City, we are online!", "Hello, Bowling Green!",
grants, cooling explainers); `discovery.include` restricts to dated article URLs so static pages are not turned into
news. Live 2026-09-11: 4 news_events (construction_started, investment_announced, …), 0 rejected, 0 credits. Daily.
