Community sentiment
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.
