It wasn't meant to bring in tax revenue per se. (And, i do think it is generating tourism. Maybe not as the primary destination, but it has raised the city's profile overall). But, it's still a park at the end of the day. The benefit to the community is as a public space and part of the stated goal is to increase the desire for folks to live in tulsa (it's still part of the overall plan we've discussed here before of helping attract remote workers, etc). And, being funded through private means, it doesn't really have to justify itself to the voters in the same way as a MAPS program.</p></blockquote><p></p>
