What the source record says
Pre-development funded by an investor consortium led by Salutem Capital; Stantec providing engineering support. Exact street address and acreage not disclosed in the announcement, so coordinates are the Wisconsin Rapids city geocode. Single-source, hence 'reported'.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
