Focus redevelopment, revitalization and
enhancement programs on areas that have been
severely economically disadvantaged.
Goal 8—
Underutilized land in areas of growth is revitalized
through targeted infill and reinvestment. Policies to
support this goal include:
8.1 Create a toolkit to promote desired infill
and redevelopment. The toolkit should include
the following items:
• Prepare and implement small area
target plans including implementation
of appropriate rezoning;
• Create a bold vision for redevelopment that
is matched with achievable market realities;
• Identify realistic markets—what are the desired
uses and what can be supported and successful;
• Identify viable financial packages
to develop funding strategies;
• Build public/private/nonprofit
partnerships to create effective resources;
• Establish operational procedures so new
businesses are effective and sustainable
and become catalysts to build momentum,
rather than being stand alone projects
without greater community impacts;
• Create an inventory of key redevelopment
sites and under-utilized parcels in target areas;
• Assemble sites for implementation.
8.2 Establish local programs such as temporary
property tax relief to promote desired
development such as enabling historic or older
buildings to be adaptively reused.
8.3 Enhance the quality of educational
opportunities to provide Tulsa residents with
a greater opportunity for economic stability—
prepare students for the workforce.
• Coordinate school growth projections
with PLANiTULSA Vision.
• Integrate provisions for safe and multi-modal
access to schools, including support for a
regional Safe Routes to Schools Program,
in land use decision making and planning
processes.
• Partner with schools to provide community
services and support education’s role in every
child’s life.
• Partner with technical schools and community
colleges to prepare residents for the workforce.
• Partner with universities to strengthen the
economic environment through student
program support and outreach, educational
research, and technology transfers.
Goal 9—
Tulsa North’s economy is at least as robust,
sustainable and as stable as the remainder of Tulsa’s
economy. Policies to support this goal include:
9.1 Focus planning, reinvestment and
rehabilitation programs in Goal 8 in the
Tulsa North area to provide opportunities
for residents and businesses to improve
economic stability.
