Conflicts and open questions
- Osage News reports two suits by a residents' group (over the annexation and the rezoning) and a separate suit by Land Legacy against the property owners over a 2013 conservation easement; a judge denied a motion to dismiss the easement case in early Sept. 2026. These are pending cases with no findings; claims are not repeated here.
- MW (500-plus) comes from the project website as reported by Osage News; no utility filing was found. Osage News reported PSO met with the Minerals Council about power lines for the project; serving utility not confirmed.
- Sources name the private landowners and residents; they are omitted here.
- Coordinates approximate from the reported highway address.
