Expected annual

$23.4M

One-time setup

$99.5M

Annual recurring

$23.1M

Personnel

124

One-time startup costs are large (~$99.5M) driven primarily by land control, facility hardening, and capital equipment; recurring annual costs are significant (~$23.1M/yr) dominated by security and specialist staffing, contracted operations (ISR, demolition/drilling), and sensor/vehicle/drone support.

📋 Confidence Notes

Estimates are assembled from analyst ranges and typical procurement/operating midpoints; major uncertainty remains around land acquisition strategy (purchase vs. lease), frequency/severity of emergences, and insurer/contingency sizing, so confidence is medium.
