Impact analysis
TDA controls urban renewal land sales that shape development and property tax base, especially in North Tulsa.
If reappointed, Mitchell says his development and capital-markets experience would benefit TDA's work citywide.
Critics argue North Tulsa District 1 residents bear the consequences of TDA land decisions without seeing priorities like grocery access honored.
