Greetings:
The City of Tulsa opened for business in City Hall’s new home at the One Technology Center. Our location is on the corner of 2nd and Cincinnati.
We purchased the building a year ago, and we have made a swift transition. The personal customer services areas of utilities, permits and licensing, as well as cashiers for municipal fines, were relocated over the past weekend and they experienced no downtime. We are proud of all the City staff who have worked so well together to make new employees feel welcome and comfortable when they arrived at their new offices. As in all moves, we have to unpack and work out a few things, so we appreciate the patience of our Tulsa customers and visitors to City Hall.
Sincerely,
Kathy Taylor
Mayor
I Believe in Tulsa!
