The Arena District Master Plan is led by a team of City Staff, members of the Tulsa community, and nationally-recognized consultants. The study is being undertaken in coordination with a Working Group, a Steering Committee and project stakeholders representing a spectrum of interests and organizations.
Working Group
The Working Group is a small team consisting of key City Staff/Administration and ADMP Project members, who are the direct day-to-day contact point for the consultant team.
Steering Committee
A Project Steering Committee of informed stakeholders has been formed to help guide this planning process. This Steering Committee includes City and County officials, the Tulsa Convention and Visitors Bureau, Cox Business Center and BOK Center management, Tulsa’s Downtown Coordinating Council, area business and property owners, and developers. The Project Steering Committee is tasked with ensuring plan content reflects the values of stakeholders and the Tulsa community and to serve as a creative force developing innovative ideas for the Arena District area. They serve an overview/advisory role and as a conduit to various downtown and community stakeholders. The Steering Committee will meet a total of five times, once during each of the five Tasks across the eight-month project.
