IN DEPTH: Data Center Proposals across Green Country

This article provides an in-depth look at numerous data center proposals currently under consideration across Green Country, Oklahoma, highlighting their diverse statuses and associated community reactions. In Pawhuska, city leaders unanimously enacted a moratorium in April 2026, temporarily halting new data center developments until the year's end, prompted by community concerns. Similarly, Tulsa city councilors approved a data center moratorium in late March 2026 to allow for further study of their impacts. In Claremore, Project Mustang is moving forward with two public hearings scheduled for May 2026, as residents express concerns over water usage and demand greater transparency. Meanwhile, Owasso's Project Clydesdale received tax exemptions approved by the Tulsa County Board of Commissioners in September 2025. However, not all projects are proceeding smoothly; in Sand Springs, an opposition group has filed a lawsuit against the city, alleging illegal land annexation for Project Spring with the aim of stopping the development. Conversely, Phase 1 of Project Anthem, identified as a Meta Data Center, is confirmed near 11th and the Creek Turnpike in Tulsa, though Meta had previously withdrawn its rezoning application for Phase 2. Coweta's Project Atlas was scrapped after developer Beale Infrastructure withdrew its application, citing a continued interest in other Oklahoma locations. Finally, Muskogee County is slated for two new data centers in Summit and Council Hill, with Google reportedly involved in a projected $9 billion investment, building on its existing operations since 2011 in Pryor's MidAmerica Industrial Park, which has seen over $3 billion invested by the company.
