Nine buildings totalling 7.1m sq ft on 549 acres of the former Jefferson Proving Ground near Madison; an improvement location permit was issued on 2026-02-25 under existing industrial-warehousing zoning and upheld on appeal by the county board of zoning appeals. No developer or end operator has been disclosed, so the landowner-applicant (the Ford family of Dupont, Indiana) is recorded as operator. Coordinates are an approximate point inside the Jefferson County portion of the proving ground, not the 549-acre parcel.
