Public Meeting Set for Update on EPA Brownfield Grants

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The city is planning a public meeting to update residents on Tulsa's brownfield grants it received from the Environmental Protection Agency in 2013.

The April 8 meeting is at City Hall downtown.

In 2013, the city received $1.4 million in brownfield grants— including $600,000 for the cleanup of the city-owned Evans-Fintube site and $800,000 for a revolving loan fund in partnership with the Indian Nations Council of Governments and the Tulsa Industrial Authority.

A brownfield designation means a property's expansion, redevelopment or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant.

How about this site for a soccer stadium and complex. Build a walking bridge over the tracks to connect to parking at OSU Tulsa and the Greenwood district.

Outlet mall......

Outlet mall......

That would be a really good site for an outlet mall if the lot is big enough

Are you sure people haven't been spelunking on that site for years? If so, then the Tulsa Urban Spelunking Coalition might oppose it.

This site was sent out for RFP recently. I think two developers bid on it. Not sure what the status of this is recently. But rumor was this would be turned into a mixed-use development with mainly office and multifamily with some retail. That developer supposedly has experience with brownfield clean up and redevelopment.

It would be laughable to see Simon try to deal with a brownfield site with the way they've handled the Turkey Mountain site.

Really?  How petty can you get?

Unless you believe there are caves in that area, I'm not sure how you could've possibly taken that seriously.

No, I took it as a deliberate jab at people who are sacrificing quite a bit of time to make sure an outlet mall is not built on top of a children's Y camp and adjacent to one of Tulsa's best assets.
