Have the years of Tulsa's reputation as a difficult and unfriendly city for builders and developers come to an end? Perhaps a change is in the air. Don Himelfarb, Tulsa's first Director of Economic and Real Estate Development, speaks frankly about the changes needed for the City of Tulsa to progress in the areas of economy and development. On May 3rd, The City presented "Developing Tulsa," a program geared towards building better relationships with the building and development community. Presentations included the state of Tulsa's development, Tulsa's first revision to the Strategic Plan in over 25 years, Historic Preservation zoning and The National Registry of Historic Places, infill building, and perhaps the most important of all, a new permitting process touted to make permitting a streamlined and friendly procedure for builders and developers. Talk is cheap but if the organization and intentions of the City of Tulsa are as genuine as what was presented in today's meeting, Tulsa's reputation will be changing soon and the citizens of Tulsa will enjoy the results of a prosperous and organized city.
