Plan OKC: Planning for a Healthy Future -- Big IdeasOklahoma City’s forward momentum can be seen everywhere you look: new and revitalized neighborhoods, corporate investments, an exciting NBA team, arts projects, vibrant retail districts, and more. However, maintaining that momentum isn’t inevitable. We will have to work together with a common vision to keep it going and to create a great community that accommodates all lifestyles, from quiet, rural living, to exciting, diverse, urban activity. planokc is the manifestation of that common vision. It is based on years of analysis and input from Oklahoma City residents, business professionals, community stakeholders and City government officials. As Oklahoma City’s first new comprehensive plan since 1977, it will be the foundation for policy, infrastructure, and planning decisions for years to come, providing the path to a better quality of life and sustainable, efficient, and successful development.Our City’s needs are evolving along with a diversifying and growing population, and we’re making improvements in areas like housing and transportation choice, health, and beautification. We’re struggling with maintaining air and water quality, our retailers face intensifying out-oftown and online competition, the diversification of our economy is only beginning, and our older neighborhoods are in need of additional reinvestment. planokc identifies ways to maximize Oklahoma City’s strengths. Our strong economy is already driving an urban renaissance that can be nurtured to its full potential and provide fertile ground for sustainable business and employment growth. The City is also becoming popular with young adults, and our residents have shown a determination to invest in infrastructure and quality-of-life initiatives.Oklahoma CityOKC_68e8875a-a0ec-11e8-9c4b-755bd8f816ddJohn YoeckelChair, Planning CommissionMick CornettMayorFunding PartnersU.S. Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment, Sustainable Communities GrantU.S. Department of Health and Human ServicesCommunity Transformation GrantU.S. Department of CommerceEconomic Adjustment GrantOklahoma City Community FoundationParks Master PlanStakeholder GroupsElement Stakeholder GroupsHealthy Communities Oversight GroupCity Staff Working GroupsLocal Chambers of CommerceNeighborhood AllianceFocus GroupsCitizen Advisory TeamBob BrightPlanning CommissionJim BurkeyPublic SchoolsTorrey ButzerCommunity at LargeJeff ClickDevelopment SectorJames WilliamsPlanning CommissionKenneth DennisPublic SchoolsAshley Dicksonliveokc Stakeholder GroupClay FarhaDevelopment SectorLynn GoldbergHealthy Communities Oversight GroupJackie JonesHealthy Communities Oversight GroupSheryl MagzamenHealthy Communities Oversight GroupCher GoldingHealthy Communities Oversight GroupDavid GreenwellCity CouncilJ.
