The City of Tulsa Infrastructure Development Division responsibilities:
The City of Tulsa's Infrastructure Development Process is designed to facilitate privately-funded projects that become part of the public infrastructure. IDP projects include those with water and sanitary mains, streets and stormwater facilities (pipes, channels, detention ponds.) Many large projects begin with the Infrastructure Development Process. Our goal is to make this complex process as streamlined and transparent as possible so that you will find the City of Tulsa a great place for your development and will share our enthusiasm for "A New Kind of Energy!"
