Google publicly announced on August 19, 2026 that it will operate a hyperscale data center campus in unincorporated Tulsa County, Oklahoma, as part of its global network. The campus, previously code-named Project Clydesdale and developed by Beale Infrastructure, was first reported by the Tulsa Regional Chamber and picked up by Allstream Insiders, Spot On Oklahoma, and FOX23, among others.

A multi-building, phased hyperscale development on approximately 506 acres near Whirlpool Drive and East 76th Street North, about three miles from Owasso, five miles from Tulsa International Airport, and 10 miles from downtown Tulsa. Construction was already underway at the time of the announcement.

Google is one of the world's largest hyperscale operators, with data centers spanning North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The company already operates a major facility at MidAmerica Industrial Park in Pryor, Oklahoma, making Tulsa County its second significant Oklahoma campus rather than an exploratory bet on the state.

PSO's substation and grid upgrades for Project Clydesdale are not just a single-campus power solution. Regional economic reporting lists several concurrent hyperscale projects in Tulsa, Rogers, and surrounding counties, meaning the transmission capacity PSO is building to serve Google now becomes enabling infrastructure for the next project in the cluster. Developers and staffing firms tracking Oklahoma should treat the PSO service territory as the leading indicator of where the next campus announcement lands.

Project Clydesdale is a multi-wave hiring event that will run in parallel with other large hyperscale builds already underway in Green Country. The Tulsa metro, roughly 10 miles from the site, provides a real base of electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and civil contractors shaped by decades of refinery, manufacturing, and heavy industrial work. That trades depth will carry construction through civil and structural phases without the acute shortages seen in thinner markets.

The non-obvious constraint is at the top of the skills pyramid. Tradespeople with prior hyperscale-scale electrical scopes and high-voltage substation commissioning experience are in short supply everywhere, and Project Clydesdale is competing directly with Google's Pryor campus, Project Mustang in Rogers County, and other large facilities across the corridor for the same limited cohort. The clustering of multiple hyperscale projects in this geography is simultaneously building a specialized regional workforce and intensifying competition for the people who already have the relevant credentials.

Commissioning engineers, critical systems technicians, and data center operations hires for Phase 1 staffing will likely need to be recruited from outside the immediate region.
