Vision 2025...Part 2?

[cynical]

There are plenty of ways for the development company to gain access to the river. Think public-private partnerships. Jim Inhofe. Who still supports river development after all these years. As long as the project isn't a casino, it shouldn't take two years to gain approval. Trade completion of riverbank stabilization and public recreation infrastructure (multi-use trails, etc.) for land.

I doubt very seriously that's how Jenks will play this. Jenks will tie up the dam and riverbank improvements into the TIFF for the mall for whatever portion The Creek Nation isn't going to pay for. Jenks isn't even going to vote, there's no need now.

The Creek Nation is going to pay too, the whole cost would be just a fraction of the nearly $400 million in construction they have going on along the banks of the river right now between Riverwalk's Flying Tee and Margaritaville and they need that dam to tie all those properties together.
