Mixedby PolitiFact
2024-07-13Reasoning
State and local taxpayers funded the project, not the Trump administration. Between 100-130 properties were cleared, not "hundreds of homes and farms." Over $500 million was spent, but the infrastructure later benefited the Microsoft data center development, making the "wasted" characterization debatable.
