What the source record says
1,077 acres of largely agricultural land north of I-96 in Howell Township. Status 'cancelled' reflects the WITHDRAWN application, not confirmed abandonment — the source explicitly reports the developers may resubmit after the moratorium. END USER: Planet Detroit does NOT name the end user; the Gander Newsroom tracker labels the project 'Meta-linked developers' and other coverage has reported Meta as the hyperscaler behind it, but no source fetched in this run confirms Meta, so the operator field records only the named applicants (Stantec Consulting Michigan Inc. and Randee LLC). The landowner is the Van Gilder family. CONFIRMED ABSENCES: no megawatt capacity, water figure, or job count is stated in either source. Coordinates are Nominatim's match for Grand River Avenue in Howell Township, the road the source names as bisecting the site; the parcel boundary is not confirmed.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
