Economic Development
Tulsans must have an equal chance no matter where they live if we want to make Tulsa the best city it can be. Economic development efforts take all City departments working together, not just those focused on economic development. Parks, public safety, code enforcement, and many other groups of employees all have a vital role in helping us realize this goal.
Major Goals
- Invest and realize street and water/sewer infrastructure projects in all areas of Tulsa, especially in Greenwood, North Tulsa, and East Tulsa – the fastest growing part of our city
- Leverage partnerships with philanthropic organizations that are within our reach
- Create pathways for youth with the expansion of workforce opportunities
- Champion our local businesses and invest in entrepreneurship
- Cut red tape at City Hall to drive down the cost of doing business
- Attract diverse industries that can create stable, high-paying jobs
