Evidence review against the cited source. The source supports the lease terms and revenue figure, but does not provide the specific end date 'through June 2048'; a 20-year term from the August 2026 article date would end in August 2046, not June 2048.

Correction after re-verification. Re-verification found the cited source does support this claim. The earlier withdrawal was made in error and has been reversed. The attributed quote appears verbatim in the cited source (deterministic check).
