Impact analysis
Microsoft says it will pay for all its own infrastructure and buy its water, so private water rates shouldn't be affected.
Local nonprofits and community groups can tap new Microsoft grant programs, including up to $10,000 per application.
Residents may see construction traffic impacts, though the company says the phase's traffic has been analyzed.
