Shawnee Downtown Revitalization Project Amendment Review Committee Special Call Meeting 03/18/2026

The City of Shawnee, Oklahoma held a special call meeting of the Downtown Revitalization Project Amendment Review Committee on March 18, 2026. The committee discussed the status and future of the existing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district originally established and renewed in 2017 for a 15-year period, with an expansion approved at that time. Key procurement-related topics included reviewing the allocation and expenditure of TIF funds, particularly for the streetscape project along Main Street, which remains partially incomplete. The committee emphasized the need to gather detailed financial reports on TIF collections, disbursements, and project statuses to better understand available funds and compliance with the original TIF plan. They agreed to defer decisions on new projects until this information is obtained and to coordinate with city officials and legal counsel to ensure proper oversight and adherence to statutory requirements. The meeting concluded with plans to disseminate the gathered information to committee members and reconvene as needed to guide future spending and project approvals within the TIF district.
