After a ‘firestorm’ of controversy, Tulsa County will withdraw an offer for land at 36th Street North and MLK Boulevard where a new juvenile justice center was to be built. Following neighborhood opposition and complaints from area elected officials, County Commissioners will be withdrawing an offer for the land. Commissioner Karen Keith still thinks it’s a good site, but says the controversy which she claims was fueled by ‘misinformation’, doomed the deal.
Keith will talk with the property owner and seek to withdraw the offer. The county did put up five thousand dollars in earnest money which will be lost.
