Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, March 28. We start with breaking news from City Hall, where the Tulsa City Council just imposed a nine-month moratorium on new data center developments until 2027, giving us time to assess impacts on our neighborhoods and power grid. This pauses most projects but spares east Tulsas Project Anthem at 21304 East 11th Street, where locals three miles away are voicing concerns over a proposed 375-acre expansion. The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission recommended delaying rezoning from agricultural to industrial, with a key hearing set for April 1 at City Hall, so residents can speak up before it hits council.
Shifting to state matters affecting us, Oklahoma lawmakers, led by House Speaker Kyle Hilbert from Bristow, are advancing House Joint Resolution 1089 for a constitutional convention vote, mandated every 20 years. If approved on the November ballot, top officials like the governor and House Speaker would lead reforms starting January 2027, wrapping up by May 2028 after gathering public input. Senate Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton calls it conceptual now, unlikely to scrap our current constitution entirely.
On a brighter note, we celebrate the grand opening of a new inclusive playground at Bales Park, designed for kids with disabilities to play alongside everyone, making family outings more accessible right here in our city.
Sports fans, gear up for FC Tulsa versus Phoenix Rising FC tonight at 7 p.m. at ONEOK Field. Box office opens at 5, gates at 6, with 83 Uniteds tailgate and bake sale kicking off at 4 p.m. at Archer and Elgin, complete with free food for members. Parking is eight bucks prepaid at the BOK lot on East Archer.
Weather today brings mild sunshine with highs near 68 degrees, perfect for outdoor plans, though a light evening breeze might cool things off. Expect the same tomorrow before scattered showers roll in Monday.
In jobs and real estate, our market stays steady with about 2,500 openings posted last week, many in tech and healthcare, while median home prices hover around 285,000 dollars, up slightly from last month.
Quick school update: Tulsa Police arrested a teen at Nathan Hale High for bringing a stolen loaded gun to campus, reminding us to stay vigilant. No other major crimes in the past day.
Mark your calendars for the Tulsa Regional Chambers Mosaic Monthly Meeting on April 1 at 1 West Third Street, diving into building wealth through careers and benefits, free with registration.
And a feel-good story: Local families are already flocking to that Bales Park playground, fostering friendships across abilities.
