TULSA, OKLAHOMA — October 31, 2025 — Construction has officially begun on Project Clydesdale, a $1 billion data center campus in Tulsa County, marking a major milestone for Oklahoma’s growing digital infrastructure sector. The groundbreaking ceremony celebrated a public-private partnership between Beale Infrastructure and local and state leaders aimed at driving long-term economic, utility, and workforce benefits for the region. The project is a big win for Oklahoma as US states compete for data center investments to drive their local economies.
A $1 Billion Investment to Boost Local Infrastructure and Jobs
Backed by a $1 billion investment, Project Clydesdale will be built over a 506-acre site outside Tulsa. The development will feature multiple data center buildings constructed in phases, each covering approximately 200,000 sq. ft. The project is expected to create up to 100 permanent high-paying technical jobs and thousands of construction roles over a five-year build-out.
“This $1 billion investment and the creation of 100 high-paying jobs highlight Oklahoma’s leadership in technologies shaping the modern economy,” said Lieutenant Governor Matt Pinnell.
Strengthening Regional Utilities and Sustainability
Beale Infrastructure is collaborating with Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) and Washington County Rural Water District #3 to deliver major power and water infrastructure upgrades. These improvements will enhance grid reliability, expand public utilities, and support sustainable growth across the region.
Beale, a North American data center developer, partners with leading technology firms to deliver facilities that balance digital expansion, sustainability, and community priorities.
Community and Educational Impact
Local leaders have praised the project’s potential to generate tax revenue and boost education funding.
“When a large-scale development like this comes to our community, it’s more than concrete and servers—it’s an investment in our children’s future,” said Dr. Margaret Coates, Superintendent of Owasso Public Schools. “The revenue will help us fund better classrooms, hire more teachers, and prepare students for technology-driven careers.”
Approved and Supported by Tulsa County
Project Clydesdale received final approval from the Tulsa County Board of Commissioners on September 30, 2025, along with associated tax incentives under The Project Clydesdale Economic Development Project Plan.
Stan Sallee, Tulsa County Commissioner for District 1, emphasized the project’s wider benefits:
“This project shows how digital infrastructure can drive economic development, create construction jobs, and enhance transportation and education funding across Tulsa County.”
