TULSA — The time has finally come. The installment of Route 66 Historical Markers has begun.
City of Tulsa officials say Vision 2025 project is scheduled for completion in two to three weeks.
The signs feature tourist-oriented narratives and historical photos, officials say.
Vision 2025 was a Tulsa County sales tax from 2004 through 2016, which provided for regional economic development and capital improvements.
Beginning in 2017, the Vision Tulsa sales tax was an extension of Vision 2025 within the city limits of Tulsa, officials say.
Vision 2025 included $15 million for projects on Route 66 in Tulsa.
