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.

Tulsa City Council passed a 9-month moratorium on new data centers in March 2026 to evaluate ecological impact; Project Anthem was carved out as it was approved before the moratorium vote. Approximately a dozen protesters from Stop Data Colonialism coalition gathered at the April 21, 2026 groundbreaking, raising concerns about environmental impact, financial burden on nearby residents, and 'data colonialism.' Meta's water-neutrality claims challenged by protesters as corporate narrative. Councilor Christian Bengel voted for the moratorium while separately supporting Project Anthem. Meta announced $3 million in community grants (Eastside Rise neighborhood enhancement, Data Center Community Action Grants) and workforce development partnerships with Tulsa Tech and Tulsa Community College targeting 200+ graduates annually in technical trades.

Water-efficient closed-loop liquid-cooled system. Meta states zero water use for the majority of the year and a water-positive goal by 2030. Water restoration partnership with Phytech across ~1,500 acres targeting 50+ million gallons of annual water savings. Additional partnership with Tulsa Community Foundation on water stewardship.
