Tulsa Local Pulse: Tech Boom, Prayer Changes, and Upcoming Events
Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for January 17, 2025. We're starting the day with a mix of news and updates from around our city.
First off, let's talk about the recent decision by the Tulsa City Council to end prayer before meetings. The council voted 8-1 to replace the invocation with a moment of silent prayer or personal reflection, a change that will take effect in May. This decision comes after a pagan woman gave the opening invocation last fall, which drew significant criticism. Councilor Laura Bellis proposed the change, citing concerns that the prayers may not represent the entire government body[3].
Moving on to our job market snapshot, Tulsa's tech scene is booming. With a 27% growth in software developer roles and an average salary of $88,448, it's an exciting time for anyone looking to break into tech. Major companies like Boeing and PwC are investing heavily in AI integration and cybersecurity innovations, creating tons of opportunities for tech professionals. The Tulsa Remote program is also making waves, offering a $10,000 grant to remote workers and enhancing community and job opportunities[2][5].
In real estate news, there haven't been any major commercial or residential property sales announced recently. However, new development projects are on the horizon, and we'll be providing updates as more information becomes available. The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment have also introduced new application fees, which took effect on January 14, 2025. These simplified fees aim to provide a more transparent and customer-friendly approach for applicants[5].
Weather-wise, today is looking sunny with a high of 35 degrees. However, big changes are coming in the long-term forecast, so stay tuned for updates.
Now, let's talk about some upcoming community events. Theatre Tulsa presents "Oliver!" at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center until January 26, 2025. This classic tale follows a young orphan boy as he navigates the gritty streets of Victorian London. Also, the Tulsa High Performance Racing Auction Trade Show & Swap Meet is happening at the Tulsa Expo Square on January 18, 2025. Vendors will fill Central Park Hall with merchandise, new and used parts, and other hard-to-find items perfect for completing your latest car project[1].
In local school achievements, we'd like to mention the World of Wrestling Tulsa Nationals, which took place at the Tulsa Expo Square from January 16 to 19, 2024. Young wrestlers competed for various titles, and we're proud of their dedication and hard work.
Finally, let's touch on today's crime report. There haven't been any significant incidents or arrests in the past 24 hours, but we'll keep you updated on any developments.
This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
