Existing + expansion count / ~$1B tax package (reported OPB)
OPB reported (May 2023) that Amazon already had four large data centers in Morrow County and that Port of Morrow approval would let the company build six more under a package described as about $1 billion in tax breaks, after prior backing from the City of Boardman and the Morrow County Commission. County Commission chair David Sykes framed the deal as economic diversification after losses in timber, agriculture CRP acreage, and the Boardman coal plant (OPB, May 19 2023)
PDX 154 Boardman Airport campus (reported primary county action)
Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business reports Morrow County Planning Commission approved Amazon's PDX 154 land-use application (March 31 2026 meeting) for a campus east of Boardman Airport with four data-center buildings totaling about 816,000 sq ft (each roughly 190,000 to 218,000 sq ft), plus a 7,260 sq ft industrial water building, stormwater/wastewater ponds, and septic drain field. Conditions include stormwater/wastewater mitigation and lighting that does not harm airport operations (Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business, Apr 14 2026)
Nitrate settlement context (reported)
The same Tri-Cities Journal report states Amazon agreed to pay $20.5 million to settle a lawsuit claiming existing Port of Morrow data-center operations contributed to nitrate pollution in local groundwater. Frame as reported litigation outcome, separate from any MW claim (Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business, Apr 14 2026)
