Yukon residents raise concerns as city, OKC planners pursue data center deal

A proposed hyperscale data center near Yukon, Oklahoma is drawing sharp concerns from nearby residents as city leaders and the Oklahoma City Planning Commission work through a deal that would reshape how the land is governed and how services like water could be provided. Residents have raised concerns about noise pollution, power consumption, and water usage, while city officials claim the facility will use only treated wastewater for cooling. A key issue is that the land in Yukon intended for the data center would be rezoned for Oklahoma City, raising questions about water service and governance.
