Background:
The New Orleans and Elm corridor consists of Vandever Acres on the northwest corner, Vandever East on the northeast corner, Broken Arrow Towne Centre on the southwest corner and Janus IV Commercial Development on the southeast corner. On August 15, 2017, City staff and representatives from the Broken Arrow Economic Development Corporation (BAEDC) recommend that the BAEDC issue a Request for Proposal for a consultant to study the corridor and provide potential options to not only maintain, but possibly improve the economic viability of the area. On February 18th 2018, City Council approved the professional service agreement with Catalyst Commercial for the study plan. A kick off workshop was conducted on May 31, 2018 with the public. Additional research was performed and a final public meeting was held on June 18th 2019 to share with the public the results of the additional research and what would be the next steps moving forward. The City Manager has recommended an Elm and New Orleans Advisory Committee to be composed of 12 members. This ordinance creates the Committee and governs the nomination process of such members.
