Port of Muskogee officials turned the corner this week as they locked down funding for the construction of an industrial access road expected to serve two development projects planned on the city's south side.
Port Director Kimbra Scott said an out-of-cycle grant worth up to $1 million was secured April 25 from the City of Muskogee Foundation. The Oklahoma Transportation Commission decided during their regular meeting on Monday to approve the industrial access project and the remaining funds needed for the $3.3 million project.
The industrial access road project will serve Core Scientific and YZY Capital, which plan to invest a combined $1.2 billion on sites within the industrial park. Core Scientific and YZY Capital plan to construct data centers at the site, creating more than 60 full-time jobs.
