Yes, 111 Greenwood is nice infill, but I can't help but think it looks like a hotel. It along with Hogan Assessment adds some nice density to that section of 1st street. wait - it's not a hotel? I'm not a rocket scientist but I did stay at a 111 Greenwood last night.... anyhoo - the lights add a little to a fairly blah building but the original brick facade rendering was a lot nicer. I mean it's nicer than a parking lot but just barely. I suppose if they can't move the apartments it can always be a nice climate-controlled mini-storage. |

Oklahoma City MAPS 4 Coliseum ![]() The MAPS 4 fairgrounds coliseum receives $9 million from MAPS 3 leftover funds. ![]() Fairgrounds executives pitched plans last summer for including a $95 million coliseum in MAPS 4 to replace the 55-year-old Jim Norick Arena. The city council settled on giving the fairgrounds $63 million but included, in a “statement of intent,” the expectation that MAPS 4 funding would be supplemented by “at least $25 million in hotel tax revenues as well as funding from MAPS 3 excess funds.

MAPS 4 Diversion Hub receives land gift and $20 million operational fund. ![]() Artist's rendering of a proposed $17 million diversion hub that would "relieve pressure on the Oklahoma County jail and help low-level offenders establish a more productive life." [PROVIDED] Philanthropist Sue Ann Arnall intends to donate a 1.6-acre tract downtown for the MAPS 4 Diversion Hub, a gift that could be worth $1.1 million or more. A MAPS 4 advisory committee and the MAPS 4 Citizens Advisory Board will review Diversion Hub plans, including the location. The final decision will rest with the city council. ![]() The Diversion Hub opened in temporary quarters last June at 220 NW 10. As the concept evolves, Executive Director Damon Britton said Wednesday, the focus has been on individuals in pretrial proceedings and those at risk of having probation revoked. Arnall told The Oklahoman last year that inspiration for the center came from a realization that parents' incarceration often leaves children in distress.--Oklahoman, January 17, 2021 |
