Over the past several months, the City of Claremore and Claremore and Claremore Economic Development (CED) have been engaged in discussions regarding a potential proposed data center development, known as Project Mustang, led by Beale Infrastructure within the Claremore Industrial Park. As with all industrial projects, rigorous site due diligence is required to determine feasibility before any commitments are made.
The proposed project would be located on land already zoned for industrial use and would not increase existing local tax rates or utility rates. As an air-cooled facility, it would have limited impact on Claremore’s water supply and all required initial infrastructure upgrades would be paid for by the developer. The City and CED have been informed that the project owner/developer and end-user is a domestically owned and publicly traded company.
The proposed project would be located within the Claremore Industrial Park, which has been zoned for industrial use for more than a decade. The site has limited access, with traffic occurring through the existing industrial park roadways.
Yes. For more than a decade, the property has been intentionally acquired, zoned and supported by planned infrastructure for industrial use under the City’s adopted land-use plans, consistent with adjacent uses.
No.
The developer will be responsible for the upfront payment of all infrastructure improvements required for the project. The facility will have a dedicated substation owned by GRDA with a direct transmission feed. This configuration ensures the project will not impact Claremore’s existing electric grid or the power needs of current customers.
Claremore Electric is the public power utility for the City of Claremore, serving more than 11,000 homes and businesses. Claremore purchases electricity from the Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA), a not-for-profit public power provider, and resells it with the revenue supporting local services such as police, fire and other essential city operations.
Public power utilities are owned by the communities they serve and operate on a not-for-profit basis, using revenues to maintain and improve the electric system and public infrastructure. Private power companies are owned by shareholders and operate as for-profit businesses. Both models deliver reliable electric service, but they differ in ownership and how revenues are used.
No. The facility is planned as an air-cooled operation, and water use will be limited, including routine domestic functions such as restrooms, employee break areas and minimal irrigation.
All projected water usage falls well below Claremore’s current available capacity.
The project will also include on-site water detention designed in accordance with engineering standards and Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requirements.
Construction access and long-term operations will occur through the industrial park. Once construction is complete, the project is expected to have limited traffic impact on surrounding roadways in comparison to a traditional manufacturing operation.
The project will adhere to all applicable noise and lighting requirements established for the industrial park. Additionally, the site will feature self imposed 300-foot setbacks, security fencing and vegetative buffers to further minimize impacts.
The project owner/developer and eventual end user is a domestically owned, publicly traded company. This project is not affiliated with blockchain or cryptocurrency operations.
Yes. While the City of Claremore would not receive property tax revenue from the project, the community would benefit from increased utility revenues generated from water, stormwater, sewer and electricity. Because the developer will fund all project-related utility infrastructure upfront, those revenues can be reinvested in system maintenance and citywide infrastructure improvements.
Information about potential economic development projects is typically shared once key details are confirmed and major due-diligence milestones are reached. These may include land-use compatibility, preliminary site plans, anticipated utility needs, required infrastructure improvements, environmental reviews and financial considerations.
Sharing information earlier can create confusion or concern if a project changes, is delayed or does not move forward.
As the project’s due-diligence process nears completion, a public meeting is planned for February 17, 2026, to share information (meeting time and location will be announced soon).
No public or City action is required at this time. The developer is completing its evaluation, after which any future proposals would be brought forward through required public processes.
Additional project information is available on the Beale Infrastructure website and on the Claremore Economic Development (CED) website, which outlines local economic development processes.
