Tulsa Authority for Economic Opportunity - Oct 22, 2026
TDA's land work delivered six projects with six small and mid-sized developers — mostly new homes north and east of downtown — plus four tax-auction lots bought for $18,950. Trustees want to build a broader coalition supporting small developers and better public education about TDA's work.
