Status context. Galaxy original July 28, 2026 account identifies its McGregor campus as a proposed AI and high performance computing development following land acquisition and a City development agreement. It targets initial power in 2028 and operations thereafter subject to milestones. The current original listing supports a proposal only. Land, utility works, agreements and another Galaxy campus do not certify McGregor computing operation or physical construction. A later investor host had unavailable robots and no body was requested or adopted.
