Community Meetings Scheduled for Kirkpatrick Heights Greenwood Master Plan

10/22/2021

The public is invited to community meetings on October 28 and October 30 to help shape the future of 56 acres of publicly owned land in the Kirkpatrick Heights/Greenwood areas of North Tulsa.  

In August, the City of Tulsa, Tulsa Authority for Economic Opportunity (TAEO), and Tulsa Development Authority (TDA) announced the selection of Wallace Roberts & Todd (WRT) to develop the Kirkpatrick Heights/Greenwood Master Plan - a plan to create a vision and action-oriented redevelopment strategy to guide the area’s growth.  

In addition to an 11-member leadership committee consisting of Greenwood and North Tulsa leaders, further community input is needed to help shape the area’s future.
