TulsaNow is hitting the Road Again! (Date changed)

How can spending money downtown help my neighborhood?
What is a “Comprehensive Plan” and how does it affect me?
Who needs trains, when we’ve got potholes to fill?

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers!

In the spirit of community involvement, TulsaNow is bringing its Community Forum Tour “on the road” to a neighborhood near you! Our first event was held in April in North Tulsa and now we are excited to announce our second event!

This second in a series of public forums will be held at the Zarrow Regional Library on June 23. Topics will include: downtown development, new forms of transit, PLANiTULSA (Tulsa’s citywide Comprehensive Plan)…and how it all relates to the challenges in West Tulsa!

Informative presentations will be followed by open discussions with local community leaders.

Theron Warlick, City of Tulsa Planning Department

Panelists:
