What the source record says
A 90,000-square-foot single-story regional edge data center — a separate, much smaller project from Meta's ~700,000-square-foot Beaver Dam campus already tracked. Council deliberations raised water use, utility rates and tax-fairness concerns. Coordinates are a municipality-level locator; the site is at Highway 151 and Hemlock Road.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
