At the request of the current property owner, The City of Broken Arrow is proposing to annex approximately 1,240 acres into the city limits of Broken Arrow, generally located South of Dearborn Street (41st), East of 51st Street (Evans Road / 225th East Avenue) within all of Section 28, Township 19 North, Range 15 East and parts of Section 27, Township 19 North, Range 15 East and Section 33, Township 19 North, Range 15 East and Section 4, Township 18 North, Range 15 East of the Indian Base and Meridian, Wagoner County, State of Oklahoma.
Pursuant to Title 11, Section 21-103 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the Council directed staff, on June 17, 2019, to post a Notice of Annexation in a legally qualified newspaper of general circulation at least fourteen (14) days prior to the public hearing, notifying property owners abutting any public right-of way that forms the boundary of the territory of proposed property to be annexed.
On July 23, 2019 a Notice of Annexation was published in the Tulsa World and on July 24, 2019 a Notice of Annexation was published in the Wagoner County American-Tribune. On July 23, 2019.

These 1,240 acres are currently undeveloped and up until January 8, 2019 were part of Fair Oaks and have been de-annexed from Fair Oaks. The property is projected to be developed for residential, commercial, industrial, office, recreational and mixed use.
