Tulsa’s new Juvenile Justice Center will be just north of downtown Tulsa. County leaders met today to discuss the site for the center.
After a lengthy debate and an executive session, they selected a location near the DayCenter for the Homeless, Salvation Army and the Tulsa Jail. It will be at the Storey Wrecker impound lot.
The County will pay $5.6 million for the seven acres of land. Construction will begin next year. It should be finished in 2019.
There had been speculation that the board would locate site at 36th Street North and Martin Luther King. Residents had opposed that site.
