COWETA, Okla. — The developer behind a proposed data center in Coweta says they are withdrawing their project.
Beale Infrastructure says in a statement that while the proposed data center, dubbed Project Atlas, in Coweta will be halted, they are still looking forward to other investments across the state.
“Beale Infrastructure is committed to being a community-first developer, employing best-in-class practices for digital infrastructure development, and delivering significant economic and community investments through our projects,” the company said in a statement sent in to our news partners at FOX23. “While we have made the decision to withdraw our data center project in Coweta, known locally as Project Atlas, we look forward to continuing to build meaningful community investments in other locations in Oklahoma.”
The proposed data center was planned to be built along Highway 51, just west of downtown.
Several residents in Coweta shared their concerns about the proposal with some worried about it being too close to their residence and the effect it could have on food costs.
The City of Coweta has announced that due to Beale pulling their application, there will be no agenda items on the data center in the April 6 City Council meeting.
