Leadership Notes: A unified vision to keep OKC moving forward

On October 14, Oklahoma City voters will have the opportunity to support the largest infrastructure investment in our city’s history—without raising property tax rates. 

The 2025 General Obligation (GO) Bond package, totaling $2.7 billion, will fund 11 essential propositions that impact the daily lives of every resident. More than 75% of the proposed funding will go directly to streets, bridges, drainage control systems, traffic and transit improvements, as well as fire, police and other critical city facilities. 

This bond issue reflects a unified vision for the future of OKC—one rooted in responsible growth, long-term planning and the fundamental services our residents rely on. It also invests in parks and recreational spaces, libraries and economic development efforts that elevate quality of life and support a vibrant, inclusive community. 

Importantly, this initiative maintains our city's momentum while keeping property tax rates flat—an achievement made possible by strong fiscal stewardship and strategic planning. 

Voters are increasingly optimistic about OKC’s direction, with favorable public opinion driven by past success and a shared desire to continue moving forward. This package presents a comprehensive approach that meets core needs while investing in our future.  

As civic and business leaders, we must continue championing efforts that reflect our community’s values and aspirations. I encourage you to learn more and share why voting YES on October 14 is vital to our progress. 

Let’s Keep OKC Moving—together.
