Industrial project records

Companies in Florida named in a research file of 60 curated records, compiled October 1, 2026. Each carries the status that file gives it. None is an Applied America project. Most are foreign-owned; U.S. operators appear where the research names them as counterparties. It is not a census, and amounts are announcement scopes that are never added together.
