Why we checked itSpecific figures about job creation attributed to a named project — verifiable against project proposals or economic impact studies.
What we foundThe 1,700 permanent jobs figure is accurate and well-supported, but the construction worker range of 6,000–7,000 is slightly overstated; primary sources consistently cite 'up to 6,000' construction jobs, not a range extending to 7,000.
