Status context. Barber County publishes the executed Google development agreement effective August 31, 2026, with developer and county signatures. County approval is supported; the same-day public summary is expressly draft and is not the controlling signed instrument. Agreement terms and future cooling are not proof of current operation, actual water use or fulfillment of all state and federal requirements.
Exact site not published; shown at county level. The dot is placed inside the county for the map and is not the site, its address or a parcel.
