What the source record says
Google confirmed evaluating the site. Coordinates are approximate. Developer: Panattoni Development Co. Status re-check, NO change: only PRELIMINARY site plan approval has been granted (February 2026, already before the record's 2026-08-08 basis). The final site plan vote is still pending, so the record correctly remains 'proposed'.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
