|
Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett held his annual Development Roundtable last week. OML staffers Missy Dean, Sarah Lingenfelter and Nancee Morris attended the event. The Kick-Off Keynote speaker and Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, Sly James spoke to the crowd regarding their Transportation program that was implemented in 2016 after a two year development program that included a trolley system to better serve today's talent.
Whether it was Kris Kanaly of the Oklahoma Mural Syndicate talking about their public art program or Bud Scott from the Farmer's Market District talking about the growth made in their area; the theme for the morning came shining through - development in Oklahoma City is alive and well
