Tulsan’s are proud of the fact that we’re continuing to preserve our history while creating a new legacy for our city. Just look at what some Tulsan’s have to say about TDA's program of work

Jamie Jamison On the Village at Central Park.
Speaking for the Village at Central Park development team, Jamie Jamieson says, "We relish this opportunity to play such a visible role in the inner city's revitalization. The Village will reinvent true urban living in Tulsa. Its a return to traditional city living: shops within walking distance of home, sidewalks, alleys, a wide range of homes for different lifestyles, and plenty of architectural detailing. The icing on the cake is the park next door and the one-minute commute to downtown. We can hardly wait to hand over the first sets of keys.”

“I love living downtown”
Deidra Schleicher, a professor of psychology at the University of Tulsa, says of her new apartment at Renaissance Uptown, “I love living downtown. It's close to everything I want to be close to: Tulsa University, where I work, Cherry Street and Utica Square for shopping, The Performing Arts Center, and more and more nice restaurants. I like the quaint feel and the energy level of living in Tulsa’s urban center. It’s great.

Reframing Whittier Square
Dan Ziegler owner of Ziegler Art and Frame, reflects the feelings of many Kendall-Whittier merchants: “What brought the area back from the worst of times to a viable retail center was an active partnership of retail owners like me, along with residents, churches, City of Tulsa officials, INCOG and the Tulsa Development Authority. Today Whittier Square has become the core for the future prosperity of this historic area of Tulsa.”
