Possible Downtown Museum

[Townsend]

If the Oklahoma Legislature authorizes the bond sale this year, Blackburn said the museum could open in 2015.

What are the odds that the OKC Legislature will go for this?

I think it has a good chance. The Legislature is going to approve a big bond issue this year and they are going to throw in a few perks to get our support.

I have a lot of faith in this Blackburn fellow. He seems to be able to talk their language and get museums built.

It will help if the Tulsa Chamber makes this one of its legislative priorities as it could be a huge boost to Tulsa tourism.  It also helps that this project has  the full backing of the Oklahoma Historical Society, which I do not believe has built anything in Tulsa in the past.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope they get the site they want. Its perfect; accross from Brady close to Cains and a block from the new hotel with close access to Boulder bridge into downtown. Time to pressure our respective congress peeps.

Is it the block bounded by Archer, Brady, Boulder, and Cheyenne?

I wish the funding from the state govt. would support both this and the Art Deco museum.

I wish the government would make education the number one state priority....followed by the environment. Subsidizing tourist attractions is about 20 on my list and goes against any Republican philosophy of balancing budgets.

it is located between Boston and Cincinnati between Archer and the tracks.  Just north of Jazz Hall adjacent to the Boston Bridge.

Are you sure?  I thought it was fronting Boulder by the Brady Theater, which is a better location IMO.  The lot south of Archer between Boston and Cincinnati would be better for more apartments, a continuation of the Tribune Lofts to the west with nice views over the tracks.

The concept drawings located it south of the Brady Archer/Brady - Cheyenne/Boulder

It would be a bond issue not a subsidy and it would be a self sustaining endeavor.

Ok...an indirect risk to the States credit rating and its ability to issue future debt for more important priorities.

I saw a person doing that once.  After about 15 steps they tripped and fell.
