Tulsa County to vote on rezoning land for proposed data center

Tulsa County Commissioners are set to vote Wednesday on whether to rezone a stretch of land in North Tulsa, paving the way for a proposed data center that has sparked both optimism and concern in the community.

The special meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m., where commissioners will consider the rezoning request and potentially take action.

The project is proposed on land between 76th and 86th Streets North, bordered by Sheridan Road and Yale Avenue. The area sits just south of Owasso and includes both residential neighborhoods and undeveloped land.
