Any idea when there will be an announcement?

Maybe the State will kick in Burns Flats for Space-X. I believe that was the vision for this place for some years.
All of GKFF's contributions to Tulsa are well over $1B. In addition to the Gathering Place they are behind Guthrie Green, the Bob Dylan Archive, Tulsa Artist Fellowship, Tulsa Remote, EduCare, expansion/preservation of Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness, recent downtown streetscape improvements, the divided biking/walking trails along the Arkansas River, among others..
imagine there's no tulsa as we know it without him. ..
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!

Very impressive. It makes me a little jealous, tbh.
This point has been made before but OKC does not have private benefactors who are helping our community in any way like Kaiser.
Aubrey McClendon used Chesapeake money, not his own and that dried up as soon as he was given the boot and well before his death.
Devon has obviously made a big investment but has also received a lot of help from the city and Larry Nichols has done very little outside the company which is publicly owned.
Harold Hamm has made some donations to diabetes research at the OUHSC but that is a cause that is personal to him.
You could point to the Thunder but the city has poured tens of millions into the arena and of course the owners are making a profit.
We just keep taxing ourselves and the big money guys in town are the ones personally benefitting. Would sure be nice if we had people stepping up like Kaiser.

This article has been posted here before but I’ll post again for anyone who hasn’t read it. Super interesting read.
The Green family is pretty worthless as far as OKC philanthropy goes, except for stealing antiquities. But even those were sent to D.C.
Tulsa is really exploring all avenue to secure this plant. Hope their extraordinary efforts pay off. This will be a win for Oklahoma; especially a boost to the Tulsa area with 10,000 jobs
Apparently, Gov. Stitt was with Musk today.

It's weird to see all of the Billionaire Bashing on here. The Loves and Greens have created thousands of jobs and decided to keep their Corporate HQ's in OKC, when they could have easily moved them to Dallas or Frisco. I agree, it would be nice if they invested in parks or recreation, but I would suggest their corporate presence has been particularly material to OKC, in a variety of ways.
Looks like the Navistar/IC Bus plant is off the table as a possible factory site, which is good news as it employs 1600 people

Read through the thread quickly and didn't see any mention but Tulsa is getting at least a Tesla Delivery and Service Center. Going in at 6010 S. 129th Ave. East. Currently set to bid the middle of June. Shows to be 23,718 square feet.
What happened to the one that was going to be built in OKC?
