I'm glad they came to their senses. Downtown does not need a Justice District today, just like it didn't need a Government District in the 60s. With the development of the Civic Center, we destroyed 13 lively blocks of downtown Tulsa, full of restaurants, apartments, single family homes, shops, etc. and erected a few lifeless superblocks that served but a couple of uses.

And that lifelessness spread into the surrounding area.

What was the reason the Storey site was rejected?

At one time there were environmental issues.  Not sure if that was the holdup.

That's exactly what I was wondering. Storey not storing cars correctly.
