Vision2 is on the November 6 ballot. The proposal would extend the 0.06 percent Vision 2025 sales tax through 2029. The current tax is due to expire the first of January 2017.
A portion of the funds raised by Vision2 would be used for economic development improvements at industrial sites at the Tulsa Airport. Another portion would be set aside for what Tulsa County Commissioners have termed “quality of life” improvements for selected sites in the county and for each of the cities within Tulsa county.
Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett has scheduled a series of town-hall meetings for citizen input regarding the improvements to be made within the City of Tulsa.
All League members are encouraged to attend at least one of the following forums.
