Enid’s Bold Data Center Vision | Oklahoma City News

Enid, Oklahoma is poised for a tech boom with Project Thunderbird — a massive multi-campus data center powered by natural gas and cooled with water from Kaw Lake, designed to avoid straining local grids. Backed by hometown developers Plainsmen Holdings, the $10B+ project promises millions in new tax revenue without raising rates, plus dark-sky lighting and sound buffers to ease resident concerns. It also includes a Patriot Utility District to fortify power and fiber for Vance Air Force Base, linking economic growth with national security. With zoning applications filed and a public open house coming up, Enid’s future could be shaped by this bold, seven-year buildout — and locals will soon have a chance to weigh in.
