Conflicts and open questions
- Acreage is disputed: Greensburg Daily News reports about 340 acres and DCD reports 550 acres.
- Greensburg Daily News says the city annexed the 340 acres in 2024. The moratorium story as read does not mention this project, and whether the moratorium reaches annexed city land was not confirmed.
- The operator behind Jumping Bison LLC and the MW are not reported. No record about the project after January 2026 was found.
