Until Jan. 28, the Tulsa City Council will be finalizing what projects will appear on the ballot. On Jan. 28 the council will need to submit the final list of Vision projects so the city's legal department and the county election board can prepare the ballot.

There is then $60,000,000 for a permanent public transportation fund. The last portion of Vision includes approximately $500,000,000 for economic development.
Development of the Arkansas River and dams is included as part of a 15-year-funding package for economic development. The river development comes at a cost of $177.7 million.
