Signal notes
Operator undisclosed in source — operator field omitted (no operators.yml entry to assign). Land is approximate (~700 acres). Rezoning approved by Bessemer City Council on 2025-11-18; kept as status: announced (a land-use rezoning, not a building permit or start of construction). Single source (WBRC), hence medium confidence. Id slug derived from the distinctive project name "Marvel" (generic "project" dropped) since no known operator/developer.
