βš–οΈ Court case

Land trust Land Legacy sued the landowners, saying a 2013 conservation easement on about 270 of the 827 acres bans industrial use like a data center. A judge heard a motion to dismiss on June 24-25, 2026. As of September 2026 there was no ruling, and the project was on hold. A separate suit by the Protect Sand Springs Alliance was dismissed.
