Fluid Stack, a data center developer, hosted a public information event in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, on Monday at OSU's Scoville Hall. The event aimed to engage with the Okmulgee community and address concerns about its planned data center project, which will be built on 200 acres on the west side of Madison Avenue. The land is owned by Tulsa-based 3 Rivers Manufacturing LLC, which has already obtained a land clearing permit.
Key discussion points at the event included the data center's anticipated water and electricity usage rates from Okmulgee Water and PSO, respectively. Public affairs specialist Kate Franco, who previously represented Google during the approval of its hyperscale data center in Pryor Springs, faced community questions. Franco emphasized the area's suitable land, workforce, and technical colleges in Okmulgee County as excellent opportunities for training new employees and contributing to the community. While no further public information events by Fluid Stack are currently scheduled, the developer maintains an Okmulgee project website with an FAQ section.
