Last post by Laramie - November 20, 2024, 12:17:24 AMOklahoma City Council approves land donation agreement for new multipurpose stadium
The Oklahoma City Council approved a real estate donation agreement with Echo for land that will be the future site of a multipurpose stadium.
The Oklahoma City Council has allocated $71 million to the project, including $41 million from the MAPS 4 program. The Multipurpose Stadium will be designed to include a United States Soccer Federation (USSF)-approved pitch, seating for approximately 12,300 guests, locker rooms and suites. The venue is expected to drive the development of a sports-centered entertainment district downtown, a model that has proven to be successful in other major cities across the country such as Washington, D.C., Louisville, Kentucky, and Orlando, Florida.--OKCTalk.com

The project is currently in the design phase, and construction is scheduled to begin in 2025.
The agreement comes as Echo and the group OKC For Soccer to bring a new professional soccer team to Oklahoma City. Court Jeske, the president of Echo Soccer and the club's majority owner, said the departure of the city's previous team, the Energy, has left a void in the community.

Local Marketplace / Buying beer online?
Last post by patric - November 19, 2024, 03:58:24 PMWhat is the legality of online-buying alcoholic beverages, like beer, that Oklahoma distributors dont want to carry?
I tried to buy a brand that I was able to get here in the past, and when it dried up, my sellers were told by the Oklahoma distributor that it was discontinued, which was a lie.
The last "reform" of the alcohol distributors didnt seem to accomplish much, IMHO.

This is from consultants hired by the county to look at options. They want to do the south Denver option. The land is all available.

Last post by SXSW - November 18, 2024, 10:38:38 PMQuote from: Tulsan on November 12, 2024, 03:15:05 PMThe next Tulsa County tax extension vote will include a proposal to build a new courthouse at 8th and Denver. I don't know what they'll do with the empty old Courts building when that project comes online in early/mid-2030s but maybe there will be a case for an additional hotel or other adaptive reuse that would complement the new main hotel.
The block with Energy One Credit Union? Good location for the new courthouse.
Honestly multifamily conversion is probably best for the current courthouse, either that or convert it into a new federal building to free up the Page Belcher block for redevelopment.

Last post by dbacksfan 2.0 - November 18, 2024, 07:43:31 PMQuote from: patric on November 18, 2024, 04:38:45 PMThat sounds like a plan... *If* its a part of the plan. Im not going to assume that it is, or will be, in light of the current prospects of environmental regulations being rolled back in the interest of being "pro business."
Aside from those concerns, I would like to see more of our legacy petroleum industry expertise transition to technologies that have a brighter future.
The petroleum industry has been a part especially for wind turbines by developing highly refined synthetic oils for the mechanical transmission equipment in the nacelle to specialty lubricants for the yaw drive.
A typical 5MW turbine uses about 700 gallons of oil that is changed every 9 to 16 months.
I doubt seriously that any manufacturing industry or other industries that have invested billions to meet or exceed environmental regulations will suddenly quit using that technology and I doubt very seriously any new businesses will push for being allowed to create a new version of Love Canal.

Last post by patric - November 18, 2024, 04:38:45 PMQuote from: dbacksfan 2.0 on November 18, 2024, 02:51:27 PMIntel and TSMC plants here have their own water treatment facilities at the plants and are currently reuse/recalim 65% of the water that they use.
The newest Intel plant in Chandler uses grey water from the City Of Chandler processes and purifies it for production use and the water that is returned to the city is treated before it's sent to the city which then uses a reverse osmosis process and then injects the water into aquiffers to bank the water back into the well systems that provide the city with water.
