What types of projects are included in the dataset and what are excluded?

The dataset focuses exclusively on large-scale industrial developments in the United States, covering manufacturing facilities, major energy projects (such as solar farms, power plants), large distribution or logistics hubs, large scale stadiums, arenas, hospitals, and other similarly sized institutional or heavy-industrial builds. Small-commercial developments (e.g., local retail centers, restaurants), regular parks, and residential housing are excluded. The intention is to capture industrial scale announcements that reflect meaningful capital investment, infrastructure build-out. By limiting to these large-scale projects, the dataset avoids noise from small announcements and ensures focus on developments that have the potential to shift infrastructure, land use and utility load patterns.
