A project shows a stage only when a dated record backs it. We show the latest evidenced stage, never move it backward, and use the earlier stage when records conflict.

Permitting: An air, water, Army Corps or FERC application or notice is filed, with no final permit.
Incentive filed: A JETI, ITEP or tax abatement application is on file.
FEED: A FEED contract is publicly awarded.
FID: The owner publicly announced a final investment decision.
EPC awarded: An EPC contractor or general contractor is named by the owner, contractor or a filing.
Site work: A construction stormwater notice is filed, or a state building filing start date has passed.
