I mainly stickered the areas where the refineries are currently. Getting rid of the the refineries and redeveloping that land was really popular at our table.
Complete fiction, but popular. I seem to remember you being generally anti government spending for capital projects but your plan is to spend all the efforts buying and redeveloping an area in the middle of 2 Billion (with a B) upgrades that serves a market that is more profitable than ever in history?
Yeah, I bet that'll be cheap. That land is likely worth, per acre, more than most of Tulsa combined.
Our table concentrated on far east Tulsa, North Tulsa and some in west Tulsa on places that need it and in ways that are physically possible.
Boy, that sure got your panties in a wad. I walked around and looked at some other tables and was happy to see the trend of redeveloping the refineries wasn't just happening at our table.
Another little FYI from the map, the refineries aren't in the city limits and were actually excluded from the project. Check the dotted lines.
If people are expressing their desire to see this included, then it should be. I never heard anyone state this was excluded. The facilitators and planners never indicated the refineries were off limits. BTW, if you want to play this game then light rail to Broken Arrow and other points outside of the city limits should not be allowed to be considered either. Choke on that, doughboy.
