The Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department will also be recognized at the banquet as the 2010 Friend of Main Street for their outstanding contributions to the state and local programs. 

“They have been a superb partner at the State Fair, our August training, and of course, in recruiting the National Main Streets Conference to Oklahoma City,” said Barnett. 

This year’s banquet will feature two new awards. 

The Community of the Year Award will recognize the Main Street Community who led other towns by earning the most quality assurance points during the 2009 calendar year.  The top ten communities (in alphabetical order) include:  Durant Main Street, Hobart Main Street, Newkirk Main Street, Okmulgee Main Street, Main Street Pauls Valley, Main Street of Perry, RedFork Main Street, Stockyards City Main Street,  Talihina Main Street, Wilburton Main Street.

Founders Awards will be presented to the 15 leaders who are responsible for establishing the Oklahoma Main Street Program in 1986.

Tickets can be purchased from your local Main Street program for $36 if purchased before March 16, 2010. After that date, tickets will be $46.

If you are not located in a designated Main Street community and would like to attend the banquet, mail your reservations to Sapulpa Main Street at 101 E Dewey, PO Box 1290, Sapulpa, OK 74066‐4203 or contact their office at 918.224.5709 (director@sapulpamainstreet.com).

Oklahoma based Sandridge Energy recently unveiled a more than $100 million expansion of it’s downtown headquarters – an expansion that will cover three city blocks.  What’s unusual about the plan by local standards is that Sandridge is reusing existing buildings, rather than relocating to an exurban campus.

The plans include a renovated 1960s tower, a restored Braniff Building–built in 1923, and a public park recycled from a pair of windswept plazas. The plans will also incorporate features like green roofs, native plantings, and storm-water management to meet LEED standards. Sandridge, which is the youngest and smallest of the city’s gas giants, is touting the project as the largest private downtown development in its history.

“If you’re an urbanist, vacancy of any kind is super tough,” said Rob Rogers, principal, Rogers Marvel (the New York based architecture firm hired for the project). “So the decision to go downtown and be a part of the city, to redevelop and reuse, is fundamentally about reinvigorating downtown. Everybody talks about being green, but one of the greenest things you can do is simply reuse things.”

History: 

Downtown Oklahoma City once boasted trolley lines, grand hotels, and stockyards. Oil was discovered directly below the city in 1928, leading to its first boom. By the 1960s, however, downtown suffered from white flight, suburban sprawl, and an elevated Interstate highway cleaving it in two. Drastic measures to fix the situation only made it worse.  Then the oil glut of the 1980s devastated the city’s tax base. 

Unable to attract new businesses, the city bottomed out in the early ’90s. In response, voters approved the Metropolitan Area Projects Plan (MAPS) to help finance downtown’s reconstruction. The first-of-its-kind one-cent sales tax, with a strict time limit of five years (later extended) raised $360 million in public funds, supplemented by more than a billion dollars in private money to build a minor-league ballpark, the Bricktown entertainment district, a new central library, and other improvements. A second plan, dubbed “MAPS for Kids,” paid for city schools, and the third, passed by voters in December, will underwrite the city’s “Core to Shore” plan. The centerpiece of the plan is a 70-acre Central Park, and $777 million has been earmarked for a restored trolley network, mass transit hub, new convention center, running and biking trails, and even sidewalks.

Oklahoma Today - Main Street edition

Oklahoma Today magazine is an award winning publication that Oklahomans esteem highly.  We love it.  I personally read it cover to cover every issue.  But, the next issue I will probably read many times.  The January/February publication is headlined as “The Complete Guide to Oklahoma’s 42 Main Street Communities” and indeed it is.  But more than that, it is a testimony to the process and the Main Street movement across the state and the nation.  There is even a section on what it takes to become an Oklahoma Main Street community and a page on the Four-Point Approach.  It is a colorful, beautiful edition of the magazine and in case you couldn’t tell, I am very excited about it. 

 In January, you should be able to access it on their website, OklahomaToday.com, and when you come to Oklahoma City for the National Conference in May you will get a copy at registration.  Below you will find a copy of the cover.  I am particularly fond of this cover because it shows very clearly buildings in need of renovation in Claremore, Oklahoma, along with buildings that have been renovated.  I think this further emphasizes the fact that Main Street is not a miracle cure but a process that works. 

Hope to see you in May!

The cold weather arrived just in time for this year’s round of holiday happenings on Oklahoma Main Streets.  Many events kicked off my favorite time of year on Main Street this week.  Parades, lightings, and even a visit or two from Santa himself have highlighted the hard work that’s occured this year, with more to come this weekend.  Here’s a run down of holiday events taking place across the state this weekend:

Stockyards City Cowboy Christmas Parade:  100 Longhorn steer, rodeo cowboys, antique cars, dog & rescue groups, and native dancers make their way down the parade route this year at Stockyards City’s annual “Cowboy Christmas Parade.” ”A Cowboy Christmas” has become one of the most anticipated holiday events in the Oklahoma City area. After the parade each year, children are invited to visit the “Cowboy Santa” at the Rodeo Opry to take pictures and get a fun toy. Area merchants also take part in the festivities by having an annual window decorating contest.  For more information call 405.235.7267 or email Erin@stockyardscity.org

The Oklahoma Main Street Center Staff enjoys a water taxi ride on the bricktown canal

Happy Thanksgiving from the Oklahoma Main Street Center.  Above is a picture of our staff on one of the Water Taxis in downtown Oklahoma City, Bricktown.  The Water Taxis run throughout the Bricktown area and are a continual service like a bus.  You can board a Water Taxi every 10 – 15 minutes in either direction.  All Water Taxi Ambassadors narrate points of interest along the way.  They can be chartered for private groups.  Lunch and dinner cruises are also available by charter to groups of 10 or more.  So, if you are planning a group dinner during the National Main Streets Conference, you might want to consider the Water Taxis in Bricktown.  Cocktail cruises are available any time by charter.  There are 6 Water Taxi stops and it is a great way to see the new Land Run sculptures.  They are 1½ times life size and are very impressive.

Land Run Sculpture

 Bricktown is home to the Bricktown Ballpark which you can view from the Water Taxis on the canal.

A “This Place Matters Tour” of Historic Structures and Adaptive Reuse Buildings is planned for Saturday, September 12, in Hobart, Oklahoma.  The event is co-sponsored by Preservation Oklahoma and the Hobart Main Street Program.  Southwest Oklahoma has many historic homes and downtown buildings, many of which were built soon after the opening of the lands of southwestern Oklahoma for settlement in 1901.  Preservation Oklahoma is partnering with community organizations, local museums, and historical societies to promote awareness of these important structures and landscapes to local communities and their economies.

The tour will feature a number of renovated commercial properties in the Downtown Hobart Historic District, including the former Ben Franklin and Penney’s buildings, the Muldrow Apartments in the former Farmers & Merchants National Bank building, and the Bearcat Alley / Courtyard businesses on S. Washington Street.  Other structures featured on the tour include the former Johnny Lemon Home (Louis and Gwen Sims home) and the Masonic Lodge.  The tour will conclude with a tour and reception at the First United Methodist Church. 

 Tours will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the Creamery at General Tommy Franks Leadership Institute & Museum, located at 517 S. Main, where participants may purchase the program-map tickets after a brief introduction.  Participants may then move on to the different buildings at their own pace and direction.  Discussants will be at each location to provide information about the history of the structure and its architectural features.  A closing reception will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, located at the southwest corner of 2^nd & Washington.

 Proceeds of the tour will benefit the Hobart Main Street Program and Preservation Oklahoma.  Information about the tour and ticket prices may be obtained by contacting the Preservation Oklahoma Office at 405-525-5325 or by calling Hobart Main Street Executive Director Stephen Boyd at 580-726-4206.  Civic and cultural groups are encouraged to attend.  Interested persons or groups may also email Ken Kelsey at kdkelsey@nwosu.edu  for more information.  Join the fun and support the work of preservation and the local Main Street Program in Hobart!
