Yukon data center meeting cut short after few answers, media denied entry

A community meeting organized by Beltline Holdings, a company proposing a controversial data center complex in Yukon and other Oklahoma cities, ended abruptly on Wednesday. KFOR News 4 journalists were denied entry to the informational session held at the Express Employment Clydesdale Barn, and attendees reported the meeting was cut short when they began asking questions. Residents expressed concerns about potential electrical grid strain and water supply issues, specifically mentioning the demand of 2.5 million gallons from Lake Overholser. Many criticized Beltline Holdings for a lack of transparency, especially after it was revealed that leaders in multiple Oklahoma cities, including Yukon, had signed non-disclosure agreements with the company regarding the data center plans. Attendees voiced their frustration at not receiving answers to their questions despite hundreds showing up. They perceived the event as a "PR blunder" and a way for the company to "skirt accountability" by using private property and NDAs to hide information from the public. The early termination of the meeting was reportedly influenced by Express Employment finding out that media were barred.
