Global technology giant Google announced today that it will operate the new data center campus under construction in unincorporated Tulsa County just west of Owasso.
Developer Beale Infrastructure broke ground on the facility, then known as Project Clydesdale, on Oct. 30.
The investment includes Google’s commitments to community engagement and transparency, energy affordability, managing water responsibly, training a talented local workforce and supporting the community.
The campus will join Google’s global network of data centers that powers the technology America relies on — from Google search to online banking, hospitals and emergency systems.
“The Tulsa Regional Chamber is thrilled that Google is deepening its footprint in northeastern Oklahoma,” said Mike Neal, president and CEO of the Tulsa Regional Chamber. “Google is synonymous with quality and commitment to community. We look forward to furthering a relationship that began nearly 20 years ago when Google announced it was coming to Mid-America Industrial Park in Pryor.”
Google has called Oklahoma home for nearly two decades, investing more than $15 billion statewide since setting down roots with its first data center campus in Pryor in 2011. The company is actively expanding its digital infrastructure footprint in the state with new facilities under construction in Stillwater and Muskogee County.
In 2025 alone, Google’s investments and technologies helped provide more than $2.6 billion of economic activity for tens of thousands of Oklahoma businesses, publishers, nonprofits, creators and developers. In Tulsa, small businesses like Dog Dish and Boddle Learning use Google tools to grow their business, support their customers and collaborate with students every day.
“This project is far more than an infrastructure investment; it is a long-term commitment to Tulsa County’s future,” said Trystine Payfer, Google’s public affairs manager for Oklahoma. “Building data centers the right way means being a good neighbor first. Here in Tulsa County, that means strengthening the local energy grid and creating real, lasting opportunities for local businesses, families and schools.”
“Google’s decision to work with Beale in Tulsa County is a continued vote of confidence in Oklahoma and its future,” said Julian Kudritzki, chief operating officer for Beale Infrastructure. “Beale is proud to partner with an industry leader like Google, which has a track record of prioritizing community partnership across the region and state of Oklahoma.”
Supporting energy affordability and local training
Google builds its data centers with a commitment to support local utility systems and pay its own way. Powered by Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO), the Tulsa County project includes construction of a new on-site substation funded by Beale. These direct investments in utility upgrades will strengthen energy reliability and grid stability across the region.
Located across 506 acres near Owasso, the new campus will bring significant public infrastructure upgrades. The project will enhance PSO’s transmission and distribution system reliability across the region, ensuring robust capacity for digital infrastructure and regional power demand. This builds on Google's ong record of supporting growth in Oklahoma’s power infrastructure; since 2011, it has signed more than 15 agreements to enable the development of more than 2.5 GW of new power generation and storage projects.
“Technology continues to shape every sector of our economy, and investments like this help position Tulsa County for long-term growth,” said Kim Wilmes, senior vice president of economic development for the Tulsa Regional Chamber. “Google’s investment will create high-quality jobs, generate opportunities for local businesses and contribute lasting value to our communities. It is another example of the momentum our region is building as leading companies continue to recognize our strengths and invest in our community.”
Investing in the Tulsa region’s digital future means building a stronger physical grid for everyone. To help develop the labor needed to build new energy infrastructure, Google is also supporting an innovative program with the electrical training ALLIANCE (etA) to train existing electrical workers and add more than 160 apprentices in the state by 2030.
“Google isn’t just investing in Tulsa County; it is investing in Tulsa County’s future,” Tulsa County Commissioner Stan Sallee said. “Our county worked hard alongside our economic development partners to help bring this investment here. This didn’t happen by accident. It shows that Tulsa County can compete and win on a global stage while helping strengthen America’s technology infrastructure and economic competitiveness.”
Protecting local water supplies and supporting the community
Google is committed to growing responsibly alongside our communities. That's why Project Clydesdale is funding and installing 1.5 miles of new water lines and infrastructure upgrades for Washington County Rural Water District #3, ensuring our local neighbors benefit from a more robust and resilient water system.
"Project Clydesdale not only represents a major investment in powering essential technology but also significantly enhances local infrastructure by providing greater energy reliability, water system improvements and much needed roadway improvements," said Rich Brierre, executive director of Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG).
Over the last few years, Google has contributed more than $2 million to support proven Tulsa County community partners such as Atlas School, The Opportunity Project, OSU-IT, Tulsa Innovation Labs, Foundation for Tulsa Schools and Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance. Google and Beale plan to support the region's rich heritage and promising future by working with local leaders and elders to launch new community investments and expand existing partnerships in education, next-generation workforce development, small business support, and digital access.
“Google’s investment in the Owasso area is a transformational moment for our economic development landscape,” said Chelsea L. Feary, president and CEO of the Owasso Chamber of Commerce & Economic Development.
“It strengthens our position as a region that can compete for major, future-focused investment while bringing new jobs, infrastructure improvements and long-term benefits for Owasso Public Schools and our broader business community.”
“We are excited to see Google expand its physical network infrastructure into the Tulsa Tech School District,” said Steve Tiger, superintendent and CEO of Tulsa Tech. “Not only do we train the builders of buildings like this new Google data center, but we also help train the technicians operating the systems inside.”
