How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.
Neighboring landowners raised concerns about water supply, electricity demand, roads and infrastructure, noise, lighting, agriculture and nearby rural property. The Grady County Board of Commissioners called a special meeting for Sept 8, 2026 to consider county response options. Grady County officials have separately said the county cannot impose a data center moratorium.
Power and water
Aligned states its facilities employ "a closed-loop cooling system designed to minimize water use." This is the operator's general design claim, not a site-specific permit or measurement.
Notes on the record
An affiliate of Aligned Data Centers bought roughly 800 acres of rural land near Amber, northwest of Chickasha in Grady County, for more than $17 million. That $17M is the LAND purchase price only, it is not a project investment figure and is deliberately not recorded as investmentUsd. No capacity, building count or timeline has been made public. Coordinates are the town of Amber, not a parcel. This is a separate Grady County site from the tracked Chickasha Airport Industrial Park project.

- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts

- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
