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!
