Status context. The original named Boyd Farm update contains a May 2026 section explicitly reporting continuing foundations, utilities and infrastructure construction. This supports company reported construction at that scope. Early June slab and later utility milestones remain prospective rather than completed work. The older timeline explicitly reports an April 1, 2024 construction start involving clearing and grading; that exact reported site preparation start is separate from vertical construction or computing commissioning. Its earlier spring 2025 forecast is not treated as accomplished completion in light of the later construction account. Potential controlled blasting remains subject to approval and notice, without proof that it occurred or caused harm.
Exact site not published; shown at county level. The dot is placed inside the county for the map and is not the site, its address or a parcel.
Dated record.

- Catawba County published its joint Microsoft programme statement on June 23, 2026, with a City of Conover copy. The statement covers the programme across three municipalities. This is the source publication date, not an individual Maiden opening, an executed incentive amendment or three independent project announcements.
- Microsoft reports that Boyd Farm construction began April 1, 2024 with clearing and grading. This is the issuer reported preliminary site construction day, rather than first vertical building, computing commissioning or a completed later forecast.
