Pittsburg County leaders to meet to discuss proposed data center

Pittsburg County leaders are convening at the courthouse in McAlester, Oklahoma, to deliberate on a proposed data center project. This potential development could be situated in either Pittsburg or Atoka County. The meeting's agenda highlights key considerations, including the crucial aspect of water supply for the facility, a general project update, and the possibility of formulating a recommendation for county commissioners to act upon. Pittsburg County Commissioner Charlie Rogers indicated that if the data center is built in Pittsburg County, construction could commence next year and conclude by 2029, potentially bringing new jobs and tax revenue to the area. The tax incentive district review committee meeting is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. However, in a separate development, the Pawhuska Public Works Authority has enacted a moratorium on new data centers within its city limits, effective until December 31.
