To address slow and inconsistent population growth, Tulsa can launch targeted marketing campaigns highlighting its unique attractions and economic opportunities, foster community engagement to create a welcoming environment, and invest in amenities and infrastructure improvements that enhance livability and appeal.
To attract and retain highly-educated workers, Tulsa can strengthen partnerships with local universities and colleges, align educational programs with industry needs, offer incentives such as student loan repayment assistance or tuition reimbursement, and facilitate networking and mentorship opportunities.
To spur growth in high-tech, high-wage industries and jobs, Tulsa can establish innovation hubs and incubators, collaborate with research institutions for knowledge transfer, and provide tax incentives and grants to attract and support technology startups and companies.
To diversify the economy, Tulsa can leverage existing strengths and resources, promote emerging industries like renewable energy and healthcare, support entrepreneurship in underrepresented communities, and foster industry clusters and partnerships.
To address the lack of investment in infrastructure, Tulsa can advocate for increased federal and state funding, develop public-private partnerships, and prioritize strategic projects that enhance connectivity, transportation networks, and broadband access.
To tackle the lack of affordable housing, Tulsa can implement policies incentivizing affordable housing development, collaborate with nonprofit organizations and developers, and explore zoning reforms to streamline construction processes.
