Gathering Place for Tulsa will be world-class park

I think they did finally work a deal, though I think it was separate from this to fix the dam, I want to say TIF but not totally sure.

Fixing the dam is a separate project that is currently underway. The larger river proposal that some Tulsa city leaders are trying to levy support for involves building two new dams, one in Sand Springs and one in Jenks as well as raising the height of the current dam (by this park) and building a whitewater park there. Those would be part of a MAPS-like vote and not part of this privately funded project.

Hmm. I wonder why they would have ever thought about building a whitewater park? LOL

The white water section has been talked about for many years. It was even part of the river package that was voted down back in 2007.
