Kirkpatrick Heights $5M Amendment

Summary

Councilor Hall-Harper wants to swap Greenwood Legacy Corporation for TEDC (a certified CDFI) as administrator of the $5 million Kirkpatrick Heights allocation and expand its scope from the ~45-acre master plan area to all of District 1. She argues trust with Partner Tulsa and GLC has been broken over board governance; GLC wants to proceed with the original plan. The council's second reading was the next day.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

$5 million of the $430 million Improve Our Tulsa 3 bond package is at stake, tied to about 45–54 acres of land in North Tulsa.

✅Who benefits

Depending on the outcome, North Tulsa residents in District 1 stand to gain housing and business development on the former Kirkpatrick Heights land.

⚠️Who could be affected

Both GLC and Partner Tulsa face loss of the administration role under the amendment; community members worry either way about whose vision controls a once-in-a-generation land opportunity.
