Downtown Tulsa Forward: Strategic Plan

Together with PartnerTulsa and the City of Tulsa, Downtown Tulsa Partnership has developed the first Downtown-wide planning effort in 14 years. Downtown Tulsa Forward was created to provide a structured approach to leveraging Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues for public realm improvements while identifying catalytic and transformative improvement projects for Downtown Tulsa over the next 10 years. Guided by feedback from 300 Downtown stakeholders, this plan serves as a framework for $28 million in guided and strategic investment throughout Downtown to support the continued growth and development of Tulsa’s economic and cultural center through 41 specific, curated projects.

Endorsed and Adopted in Fall 2020, the Strategic Plan for a Downtown Management Organization formally recommended the creation of the Downtown Tulsa Partnership and the establishment of a clear delineation between City services and enhanced services to be provided by the Tulsa Stadium Improvement District and to increase the value proposition to TSID ratepayers by maximizing accountability, responsiveness, and reflecting myriad of Downtown interests. The Downtown Tulsa Partnership is now implementing the goals and tactics identified in this plan.
