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.
Protect Sand Springs Alliance filed an annexation-challenge lawsuit (Jan 2026); Land Legacy filed a conservation-easement enforcement suit (Mar 2026) covering 270 of the 827 acres; a recall petition targets the City Council and mayor; Osage Nation raised mineral-estate sovereignty and consultation concerns.
Power and water
PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma) to supply power via existing transmission crossing the property; developer states Google would fund a dedicated substation and new transmission at no cost to local ratepayers.
Developer states initial phases use non-evaporative air cooling; water for domestic use only; future phases may evolve (projectspringok.com).
Notes on the record
Google is identified as the interested purchaser/end-user by Tulsa Flyer, Fox23, DCD and Public Radio Tulsa, but there is no standalone Google announcement for this site (developer White Rose Partners is titleholder) - hence confidence 'reported'. County: physical property is in Osage County (per the official project site and Osage News); the annexing City of Sand Springs is primarily Tulsa County, and the annexation lawsuit moved from Osage to Tulsa County court. Capacity: trackers allege 500+ MW but no primary source confirms it - omitted. Google's $9B Oklahoma commitment (Aug 2025) is a statewide figure, not project-specific. Up to 3 data-center buildings + one office building; construction targeted 2027, completion 2029 (developer). Jobs (~1,000 peak construction, ~50+ FTE/building) are developer projections. A ~$100M/25yr PILOT was cited by the city manager but no executed agreement is confirmed. Coordinates estimated from the site description (near HWY 97 / Rock School Rd), not geocoder-verified.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
