Employees at the Polaris Technology Data Center in Muskogee are expressing anxiety over potential job losses following a recent decision by the Muskogee City Council. The council voted to proceed with the annexation of unincorporated land where the data center is located, specifically within the John T. Griffin Industrial Park.
This move has sparked concerns among workers, who fear that the change in jurisdiction could lead to operational disruptions or even the relocation of the facility. The annexation process is seen as a significant step that could alter the business landscape in the area, raising questions about the future of the data center and its workforce.
Local officials have stated that the annexation is intended to improve city services and infrastructure in the industrial park, but employees remain apprehensive about the implications for their jobs. As the situation develops, the community is closely monitoring the impact of this decision on the local economy and employment stability.
