What the source record says
Building size is reported inconsistently: the Times Republican account of the Aug. 26, 2026 council presentation says 125,000 sq ft, while Business Record reports 150,000 sq ft. Jobs were described as a 50-60 permanent range; the lower bound is recorded. No MW capacity was stated. Coordinates are approximate — the point sits at the JBS Marshalltown industrial site, next to which the Edgewood Industrial Park city-owned parcels lie; no specific parcel has been identified publicly.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
