    Tulsa City Council Pauses Data Centers; Rogers State Celebrates New President
    2026/03/27
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, March 27.

    We start with big news from City Hall. Tulsa City Council unanimously approved a moratorium on new data center construction through the end of the year. Councilor Laura Bellis led the push, citing concerns over noise and zoning fit near neighborhoods like those around Riverside Drive. This pause lets our planning office study impacts while Project Anthem phases one and two continue at their site off 71st Street. Nineteen speakers backed it, saying it protects our daily lives from unchecked growth.

    Shifting to education, we celebrate Rogers State University today at 1 p.m. with the presidential investiture of Dr. Don Raleigh at First Baptist Church Claremore, just a short drive from Tulsa. Its a milestone for our local college community.

    Weather-wise, mild temps in the low 60s greet us this morning with partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor plans around Gathering Place. No major impacts today, but watch for scattered showers tomorrow afternoon.

    On the business front, no major openings or closings, but real estate stays hot with about 1,200 homes listed citywide, median prices around 290,000 dollars. Jobs are steady, with roughly 5,000 openings in tech and energy sectors per recent postings.

    Crime report from the past day stays calm: Tulsa Police arrested two suspects in a vehicle theft near 61st and Sheridan, recovering the car safely. No active public safety alerts.

    Quick sports note: Tulsa Union High School boys basketball wrapped regionals with a strong win last night. Schools report solid achievements too, like Booker T. Washingtons robotics team qualifying for nationals.

    Looking ahead, join the Tulsa Arts District block party tomorrow on First Street for live music and vendors. And a feel-good story: Volunteers at Philbrook Museum of Art planted 50 new trees yesterday, sprucing up our green spaces for families.

  • Tulsa Pauses Data Centers, Schools Cut Jobs, Community Rallies for Change

    Tulsa Pauses Data Centers, Schools Cut Jobs, Community Rallies for Change
    2026/03/26
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, March 26.

    We start with breaking news from City Hall that affects us all. Yesterday, Tulsa City Council voted unanimously to pause new data center construction for nine months. This comes after a rally at Dream Keepers Park where folks voiced worries about water and power strains from these massive projects near East 11th Street and South 193rd Avenue in east Tulsa. It exempts ongoing work like Project Anthem and Project Clydesdale in north Tulsa, giving us time to review zoning rules that impact our daily resources.

    Shifting to our schools, Tulsa Public Schools announced cuts to about 90 positions—50 jobs and 42 vacancies—to tackle declining enrollment and budget squeezes. Superintendent Dr. Ebony Johnson says it saves $3.5 million, starting with admin roles, but current staff stay through June 30 while we recruit teachers. This hits home as families plan for next year.

    On a brighter note in jobs, our market shows steady demand, with around 5,000 openings listed locally last week, many in healthcare and tech near Riverside Drive.

    Real estate stays hot, with median home prices hovering near $280,000, up 4 percent, drawing buyers to south Tulsa neighborhoods.

    Weather-wise, mild temps in the low 60s today with scattered showers could dampen outdoor plans, so grab that umbrella for errands along Route 66. Outlook calls for clearing skies by evening.

    Sports fans, catch the Tulsa Golden Hurricane softball team battling Oklahoma State Cowgirls this afternoon—tune in for live highlights.

    New business buzz includes a fresh coffee shop opening on Cherry Street, boosting our cultural scene with live music nights ahead.

    Looking ahead, join the community cleanup at River Parks Saturday, and dont miss the Tulsa Arts District First Friday events tomorrow evening.

    Quick school shoutout: Booker T. Washington High School debate team took first at regionals.

    Crime report from the past day stays calm—no major incidents, just a routine arrest near 71st and Memorial for theft, with police urging vigilance on public safety.

    And a feel-good story: Neighbors rallied to repair playgrounds at Kendall-Whittier Elementary, strengthening our community bonds.

We kick off with exciting sports action as FC Tulsa hosts Las Vegas Lights FC tonight at 7 p.m. at ONEOK Field presented by Tulsa Welding School.

  • Tulsa Data Center Debate Heats Up as Community Pushes Back on Project Anthem

    Tulsa Data Center Debate Heats Up as Community Pushes Back on Project Anthem
    2026/03/20
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, March 20. We start with breaking developments from city hall that hit close to home. The rezoning decision for Project Anthem, a massive data center on over 300 acres between 11th and 21st Streets near the Creek Turnpike in east Tulsa, got delayed by two weeks until April 1. Tulsa Flyer reports planning staff recommended denial due to weak justifications, but the committee granted developers more time amid strong community pushback from residents like Bobby Ross, who worry about neighborhood changes, property values, and environmental hits. We will keep showing up to shape our east side.

    Shifting to new business buzz, a Community Systems Development Specialist job opened with the Oklahoma State Department of Health right here in Tulsa, paying around $43,000 to boost infant outcomes—great for our health pros eyeing stability. Real estate stays steady with east Tulsa lots drawing eyes despite the data center debate, and job postings hint at about 50 new roles in health and public service this week.

    On the youth front, our local 4-H and FFA kids shone yesterday at the Oklahoma Youth Expo in Oklahoma City with strong showings in market goat, lamb, steer events, and scholarship drives—proud moments for Tulsa families heading down I-44.

    Sports wise, Tulsa Golden Hurricane softball fell hard to Oklahoma 12 to 1 last week, but we rally for weekend games at the Tulsa Softball Complex. University of Tulsa Law is gearing up students for the NextGen Bar Exam in 2027 with new Helix prep and externships over 300 strong.

    Crime report from the past day stays calm: no major incidents or alerts from Tulsa Police, just routine patrols keeping our streets safe around Gathering Place and downtown.

    Weather today brings mild temps in the low 60s with partly cloudy skies and light winds off the Arkansas River—perfect for outdoor plans, though watch for evening showers. Outlook holds steady through Sunday.

    Looking ahead, mark your calendar for east Tulsa community forums on the data center next week and expo wrap-up events. For a feel-good lift, listeners shared stories of neighbors teaming up to clean Riverside Trails, strengthening our bonds.

  • Tribal Sovereignty Upheld as Federal Judge Blocks Oklahoma's Intervention in Tulsa Settlement

    Tribal Sovereignty Upheld as Federal Judge Blocks Oklahoma's Intervention in Tulsa Settlement
    2026/03/19
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, March 19th.

    We're starting with a significant ruling out of federal court that affects tribal jurisdiction right here in our city. A federal judge has decided that Oklahoma cannot intervene in a settlement between the City of Tulsa and the Muscogee Nation. The case stems from a dispute over prosecuting tribal members for crimes committed on the reservation. Under the agreement reached last June, Tulsa is stepping back from prosecuting municipal cases involving Native American defendants, allowing the Muscogee Nation to handle that jurisdiction instead. The City of Tulsa clarified this doesn't mean they're giving up authority, just agreeing to defer to tribal sovereignty. Governor Kevin Stitt attempted to jump into the case, but the judge ruled he waited too long and that the city's interests already represented the state's position adequately.

    Moving to our civic improvements, Broken Arrow voters will head to the polls on April 7th to decide on a major investment package. The city is asking for approval of a 415 million dollar bond measure and a half-cent temporary sales tax increase to fund more than a hundred projects. The largest chunk, about 205 million dollars, would go toward transportation improvements like widening roads and repairing residential streets. Another 56 million would support fire services including new trucks and a fire station on the southeast side. Quality of life projects would receive 74 million, with nearly 50 million earmarked for Elam Park to build a community center and recreational facilities. City leaders say these bonds would actually keep property taxes flat since they'd replace retiring debt from previous initiatives. The temporary sales tax, if approved, would last five years and help fund upgrades at four sports complexes.

    Here in Tulsa proper, city leaders are recognizing the ongoing work to honor victims of the 1921 Race Massacre. Mayor has officially designated March 14th as Genealogy Day, reflecting the city's commitment to identifying victims and reconnecting families. This summer, genealogy workshops are coming June 18th through 20th, offering hands-on research help through partnership with the Greenwood Cultural Center. The city has also made progress at Oaklawn Cemetery, updating information on ten burial sites with new details discovered through DNA research.

    On the safety front, Tulsa police continue investigating several recent incidents. Officers arrested a man accused of driving a stolen truck after he attempted to hide in a backyard doghouse. Police also responded to a robbery at a local Dollar Tree store when a shoplifting incident escalated and a suspect threatened a clerk. Thank you for tuning in to Tulsa Local Pulse.

    Tulsa Local Pulse: Sports Wins, Spring Weather, and Community Spirit
    2026/03/15
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, March 15. We kick off with sports where our Tulsa University softball team put up a strong fight yesterday in Denton, Texas, but fell 6 to 1 to North Texas after a late rally by the Mean Green. Amber Turner shone with four hits, including a double, and our Golden Hurricane wrap the series at noon today—lets cheer them on for that first conference win. Over at Oral Roberts, the baseball squad clinched a series victory over South Dakota State, breaking through late for a 3 to 1 win right here in Tulsa, keeping their momentum hot. Looking ahead, the Tulsa Oilers gear up for their home game against the Trois-Rivieres Lions on March 28 at the BOK Center—grab tickets now for some exciting hockey action.

    We turn to community vibes with Antioch Baptist Church hosting their Sunday service today, inviting everyone to join in fellowship. And for our younger listeners, local cheer teams are fired up after recent showdowns, with more nationals energy building.

    On the job front, Tulsa sees steady openings around the Renaissance Tulsa Hotel and Convention Center, with about 50 positions in hospitality and events, perfect for folks seeking flexible work near downtown. Real estate stays brisk, with median home prices hovering around 250 thousand dollars, especially hot along Riverside Drive where new listings draw families.

    City Hall updates include smoother traffic flow decisions on Peoria Avenue, easing your daily commutes. No major crime in the last 24 hours, though we remind everyone to stay vigilant around Gathering Place after dark.

    New business buzz has the Renaissance adding pet-friendly rooms, welcoming our furry friends downtown. Weather-wise, mild temps in the low 60s today with partly cloudy skies mean ideal conditions for outdoor walks along the Arkansas River, but bundle up for a cooler evening—outlook holds steady through midweek.

  • Tulsa Data Center Debate Heats Up as City Considers Moratorium

    Tulsa Data Center Debate Heats Up as City Considers Moratorium
    2026/03/14
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, March 14. We kick off with breaking news from City Hall, where the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission is gearing up to discuss a year-long moratorium on data centers next week, sparked by opposition to the massive Project Anthem campus at East 11th Street and the Creek Turnpike. East Tulsa groups like the Indigenous Environmental Network held a town hall at Pancho Anaya Park last night, urging residents to voice concerns over water use and rising costs that hit our daily lives hard. This could reshape development in our neighborhoods.

    Shifting to public safety, Tulsa Police arrested a man yesterday linked to a string of vehicle burglaries across the city, using stolen credit cards and pawning goods, according to department reports. Theyre also spotlighting Flock Safety cameras, with over 100 deployed citywide, helping recover nearly 4 million in property since 2022, though some councilors raise privacy flags from last years protest investigations. Stay vigilant with your vehicles, especially near Riverside Drive.

    On sports, FC Tulsa hosts San Antonio FC tonight at 7 p.m. at ONEOK Field, our home opener after a strong conference title last season. And lace up for the 42nd St. Patricks Day Run this morning at RunnersWorld Tulsa on South Peoria Avenue, with proceeds supporting Special Olympics Oklahoma.

    Weather-wise, mild temps in the low 60s today with partly cloudy skies make it perfect for events, but watch for gusty winds near 20 miles per hour that could stir dust along the Arkansas River. Outlook stays dry through Monday.

    New business buzz includes The First 48 wrapping production here after a decade with TPD. Job market shows steady openings around 5,000 listings locally, rounded up, focused on tech and healthcare. Real estate sees eastside homes averaging 280,000, up slightly amid data center talks.

    Mark your calendars for community events: data center moratorium vote March 18 at City Hall. Quick nod to Beggs Middle School staying closed through the year after last years EF-3 tornado, but Tulsa schools report solid basketball wins this week.

    For a feel-good lift, east Tulsan Janeth Bernal joined neighbors to protect her familys water supply, showing our voices matter.
