Due to extreme cold temperatures and hazardous road conditions, Tulsa County will close the Tulsa County Courthouse and Tulsa County Headquarters on Monday, January 26. Tulsa City Hall and other public-facing City facilities will also be closed. Officials say City business will continue to be conducted over the phone or online. Most area schools are also closed. Details from County and City follow:
North Tulsa Cherokee Community Organization (NTCCO) is proud to participate once again in Tulsa’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parade alongside Councilor Joe Deere CN Gadusi.
Councilor Deere said, “Together, we will honor Dr. King’s legacy of unity, justice, and service as we celebrate this year’s theme: ‘New Day. Same Dream.’”
Update: The Broken Arrow City Council rejected a proposal Monday to build a facility identified as a Mosque, not on religious grounds, but because it did not fit the comprehensive area plan for the city.
In a statement Monday morning Tulsa County Commissioner Kelly Dunkerley asserted his strong opposition to a proposed development in Broken Arrow.
Dunkerley said, “Our communities are strongest when decisions are made with compassion, transparency, and a steadfast commitment to public safety and responsible growth. Land-use discussions can be challenging, particularly when they involve long-term impacts to neighborhoods, infrastructure, and future development. These matters deserve careful consideration rooted in facts.
“[Today], the Broken Arrow City Council will consider two requests related to a proposed development on the east side of Olive (129th E. Ave.), just south of the Creek Turnpike: a zoning change from agricultural to commercial and a special use application to construct an assembly facility.”
AARP Oklahoma invites local eligible nonprofit organizations and governments to apply for the 2026 AARP Community Challenge grant program, which will be accepted through March 4 at 5 p.m. EST.
AARP Community Challenge grants fund quick-action projects that help communities become more livable by improving public places, transportation, housing, digital connections, and more.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced today that his office will investigate whether a proposed mosque and commercial development in Broken Arrow complies with Oklahoma law and applicable federal statutes. Tulsa County Commissioner Kelly Dunkerley (Dist. 3), however, asserts zoning issues and compliance with the comprehensive plan are the critical components for Broken Arrow to consider.
