Google's second-largest data center campus in the world. Oklahoma wind generates ~42% of in-state electricity. New expansion announced as part of $9B Oklahoma investment (August 2025). Google has invested $5.7B+ in Oklahoma historically (prior to August 2025 $9B commitment).

Utility records (open-records request) show the Pryor center used more than 1.1 billion gallons Jul 2024–Jun 2025 (≈3.0 MGD, a floor) from the Neosho River via the state-owned MidAmerica Industrial Park; ~253M gallons were discharged back to the river, the remainder lost to evaporative cooling. Google was the park's second-largest water user that year.

Public subsidies

  • Oklahoma ad valorem manufacturing exemption (5-year property-tax exemption on data-center equipment) — $45.9M in 2021 alone (largest single-year benefit; amountUsd reflects this 2021 figure); ~$239M reimbursed cumulatively over ~a decade for the Mayes County facility; existing qualifying equipment retains the exemption to 2036 under SB 609 (2021)$45.9M

Community sentiment

Mixed

Strong official support — Pryor Mayor Zac Doyle: Google has brought "hundreds of jobs, economic growth, and billions in investment" and supports local schools and nonprofits. Google reports more than 800 jobs created to date in Pryor and $4.4 billion invested in Mayes County to date (company-provided figures via The Frontier). Grassroots and state-level concerns are documented: local hiring practices, rising housing costs, and heavy water use (>1.1B gal/yr); the Oklahoma Water Resources Board warned (Oct 2025) that data centers "will contribute to the strain" on water supply. Subsidy scale also criticized: ~$239M ad valorem for this facility, plus $113.9M in income-tax credits Google has claimed statewide since 2017.
