End
Background:
The City of Broken Arrow has been requested to support a critical infrastructure project led by Tulsa County, involving the elevation of approximately one mile of Garnett Road (from 91st to 101st Street) and the 101st Street intersection by five feet to mitigate future flooding risks. This project borders or is in close proximity to Broken Arrow, Tulsa, and Bixby, and will enhance public safety and protect essential roadways in the region.
The project is part of Disaster #4575 - Project 13 - Tulsa County 101st & Garnett Infrastructure Protection, which is awaiting final approval for Phase 2 FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant funding from U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The grant is reimbursable and valued at over $8 million. Tulsa County has advanced the project through all required FEMA steps and guidelines, and it is ready for construction bidding upon approval.
U.S. Representative Kevin Hern and U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin have previously advocated for this project. The proposed Resolution expresses the City's support and requests prompt approval from Secretary Noem, with copies to Senator Mullin, Representative Hern, and Tulsa County leadership. Approval of the Resolution will demonstrate the City's commitment to regional hazard mitigation without any financial obligation to the City
