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.

Anyone may attend either of the following open house-style meetings:

  • Thursday, October 28
    Session 1: Greenwood Cultural Center, 6- 8 p.m.
  • Saturday, October 30

Meeting goals include:

  • Introduce community members to the project and invite them to participate
  • Orient community members to the study area and goals for the study
  • Develop a community-led vision and set of goals for the process
  • Understand the community's priorities for development, investment, capacity building, and long-term development governance

Each meeting will be divided into two parts:
