Mayor, city councilors hold 2nd Vision2 public forum Friday

TULSA - Mayor Dewey Bartlett and Tulsa city councilors are holding the second Vision2 public forum Friday evening.

Vision2 is a proposal for a $748 million extension of Vision2025, which gave Tulsa the BOK Center.

The Vision2 proposal would give companies incentives to relocate to Tulsa, give surrounding communities money for projects and give money to city-owned buildings for upgrades.  

If voters approve Vision2 in November, half of the $748 million will go toward improving city-owned buildings near the airport.

The rest would be determined by the public.

So far, suggestions for the remainder of the Vision2 money include local parks, children's services, a light rail system and the Tulsa Zoo.

With a potential extension, the city of Tulsa must identify projects for inclusion in the new Vision2 program.

Citizens can submit project ideas through the various communication outlets:

• Visit www.cityoftulsa.org / Vision2
• Email Vision2@cityoftulsa.org
• Call the Customer Care Center at 918-596-2100
