A series of public meetings on Tulsa’s Vision funding package begins tonight at 6 p.m. at the Greenwood Cultural Center, 322 N Greenwood Ave.
Councilors decided late last week the public should get a chance to weigh in on the funding structure, which has changed to include other sales taxes and general obligation bonds.
As it stands now, the package includes more than $1 billion over 15 years: $320 million for public safety, $177 million for Arkansas River dams, $464 million for more than two dozen economic development projects and $60 million for public transportation.
Sales taxes funding public safety and transportation would be permanent, while the other sales taxes would last 15 years.
There are two other meetings: Tuesday at Kirk of the Hills, 4102 E 61st St., and Wednesday at Tulsa Community College Southeast Campus VanTrease Performing Arts Center, 10300 E 81st St. Those meetings also start at 6 p.m.
