TULSA’S FUTURE 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER TO INVESTORS
With the local economy at near-full employment, attracting talent from
outside the community is vital to ensuring the economic success of the
Tulsa region. Last year alone, the region welcomed more than 6,000
new jobs and received national attention, all as a result of the Tulsa’s
Future regional economic initiative.
Over the past year, the Tulsa region continued to establish itself as a
leader in economic development by assisting with strong job creation
through its Tulsa’s Future plan. The success of the Tulsa’s Future plan
would not be possible without the support of our investors.
By investing in Tulsa’s Future you are helping to create jobs, attract
new business, recruit a talented workforce and improve northeast
Oklahoma’s competitive positioning and economic prosperity.
Today, the Tulsa’s Future campaign is in its second phase and plays a
key role in leading economic development achievements regionally.
Since 2011, Tulsa’s Future has directly attributed to or assisted with the
KEN LEVIT
2014 Chair, Tulsa’s Future Oversight Committee
Executive Director, George Kaiser Family Foundation
creation of 23,898 new jobs in the Tulsa region, with 12,268 of those
jobs meeting the Tulsa’s Future program’s target annual salary of
$50,000 or greater.
This year, Tulsa’s Future will continue building upon its momentum as
it plans to enter its third phase. Tulsa’s Future will continue to pursue
the creation of high-quality jobs and attracting a young and talented
workforce. The plan will take a four pillar approach and focus around
the areas of the Tulsa Region’s prosperous future, innovative future,
skilled future and livable future.
On behalf of the Tulsa’s Future Oversight Committee, the Tulsa
Regional Chamber, the 140 Tulsa’s Future investors and the Tulsa
regional community, thank you for your contribution to this vital plan
to enhance our economy and quality of life. The Tulsa region has a
unique opportunity right now to grow the economy and improve our
communities on many levels. Your commitment serves as the catalyst
for our continue success.

ADVOCACY AND OUTREACH
POLICY FOR BUSINESS
Each year the Government Affairs Division works with our regional partners to develop the
OneVoice Agenda, giving the region a stronger, unified voice for business-friendly legislation that
supports the retention and attraction efforts of the Tulsa’s Future program.
With a record-breaking 68 regional partners and community endorsements, the 2014 OneVoice
Legislative Agenda celebrated a number of successes that have a direct impact on the region’s
economic development potential.
»»
Education funding: Despite a very challenging budget year, common education received
$80 million in additional funding – the greatest increase of any state department or program.
Increasing education funding at all levels was a key priority for Tulsa’s Future to strengthen
Oklahoma’s workforce.
»»
Small Business Quality Jobs Act (HB 2956): The Small Employer Quality Jobs Act was
expanded to allow businesses statewide to qualify. Previously, Tulsa and Oklahoma County
companies were prevented from taking advantage of this economic development tool.
»»
Aerospace Engineering Tax Credit (HB 2509): We successfully lobbied to extend the
Aerospace Engineering Tax Credit’s sunset date from Jan. 1, 2015, to Jan. 1, 2018. The tax
credit was also expanded to allow interns hired immediately after their internship to qualify.
»»
Opposed eliminating effective business incentives (HB 2556, HJR 1079): Several bills that
would have eliminated critical economic development incentives such as the Investment/
New Jobs Tax Credit, Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit, and others were killed early in the
legislative session, ensuring that Oklahoma retained these vital tools.
»»
Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA): advocated for the successful
passage of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act at the federal level, which
included several key components for the Tulsa region: an avenue for emergency-critical
repairs to the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigational System; a land swap between the
Port of Catoosa and Army Corps of Engineers to facilitate future growth at the Port; and
allowing non-federal entities to begin and continue construction on core projects like those
benefiting the Arkansas River.
»»
Air National Guard Base Fuel Storage Facility: We successfully advocated for $17 million in
federal funding for the Oklahoma Air National Guard Tulsa base’s fuel storage facility, allowing
the base to serve the next generation of fighter jets and preserving 1,200 jobs.
ADVOCACY
Public safety is an important factor in
attracting and retaining businesses and
skilled workers, directly impacting the
efforts of the Tulsa Regional Chamber to
sell communities in Tulsa County to new
businesses and residents.
In support of this critical component of
economic development, the Chamber
in 2014 endorsed and raised funds
for a campaign promoting two ballot
propositions aimed at addressing public
safety issues in Tulsa County — building
a new Juvenile Justice Center and
expanding the David L. Moss Criminal
Justice Center.
The Protect Our County campaign
succeeded with a significant majority
of the vote. A 15-year, 0.041 percent
sales-tax initiative to fund the juvenile
center received support from 70 percent
of voters, while a 15-year, 0.026 percent
sales tax for the jail pods garnered 66
percent of the vote. County officials
called the propositions a huge win for
the Tulsa region as a whole — not just
Tulsa County.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Transportation, Oklahoma Career Tech,

Owasso, the Owasso Land Trust, Tulsa
Tech, the Cherokee Nation, the Public
Service Organization, the Indian Nations
Council of Government, Workforce Tulsa
and the Tulsa Regional Chamber.
»»
The launch of the River Infrastructure Task Force, following the Chamber’s Intercity Visit to
Pittsburgh, focused on developing a collaborative, regional plan for up to four low water dams
in the Arkansas River – unlocking potential development along our greatest natural asset.
»»
Collective participation from the leaders of Tulsa, Sand Springs, Jenks, and Bixby, as well as
Tulsa County, the Tulsa Regional Chamber, and other key river stakeholders.
»»
More than $700 million in private development announced in anticipation of finally getting

“

the state and the region worked together

competitive as possible.
- Brien Thorstenberg
Senior Vice President, Economic Development
“

and units opened for residency in the Brady District, Blue Dome District and East Village. At the
end of 2014, the pace greatly accelerated when American Residential Group announced a new

and Greenwood. All signs point to accelerated development within the IDL for 2015 and a vibrant
future for Tulsa’s downtown.
