This plan has been taking place without input from the public. What about talking with the people who live there and have abided by the city’s rules of development since 1970’s?
What kind of turnover has there been in the City Staff ranks? When I see "Chamber of Commerce" I think former State Representative Scott Martin. Again, as I have asked in the past, why did he leave the legislature before term limits forced him out? I think it is obvious now.
The Turnpike, UNP Arena TIF, and aggressive changes in city government show a couple of things. Oklahoma City Metro sprawl has reached a critical mass in Cleveland County. Developers are ready to pounce on the opportunity and are expending great energy to do so. Second, a growing set of trusting (gullible) Norman residents fell asleep and allowed the election of development operatives.
