Tulsa City Council Urban & Economic Development Committee

The Tulsa City Council Urban & Economic Development Committee met on June 4, 2026, to discuss several agenda items including reappointments, rezoning applications, and updates on local improvement districts and Main Street programs. Key procurement-related discussions focused on the renewal and funding of the Kendall Whittier Improvement District, which supports security, beautification, lighting, and parking improvements, with a public hearing scheduled for June 10. The committee also reviewed the progress and funding of multiple Main Street districts, highlighting significant private reinvestment totaling over $4.5 million in the past year and a cumulative $675 million to date. The council discussed the allocation of $218,000 for designating new Main Streets and the annual $45,000 funding per district to support executive director salaries and attract private investment. No contract awards or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but the committee emphasized the importance of continued funding and grant support to sustain revitalization efforts and infrastructure improvements in these districts.
