Pearly Gates about to open in Broken Arrow, OK



Pearly Gates about to open in Broken Arrow, OK



Family Smiles Dentistry is about to open their doors for business in Broken Arrow this month. The new office will be located at 300 N. Aspen, at the northwest corner of Aspen and Detroit, just north of Panera's Bread Company.



Dr. Evan Clothier and his family recently relocated from Pittsburg, KS to open up their business in Broken Arrow. The office features a kid-friendly environment with glass lobby, flat screen televisions and colorful décor to allow kids and families to have a pleasurable experience when visiting the dentist.



Neil Dailey of the Baskin Real Estate Specialists with McGraw Realtors assisted Dr. Clothier in their site location and negotiations. "We looked at about every possible site in town before deciding on this location. The neighboring businesses and the increasing traffic counts made this a prime location and we were able to negotiate a great price for Dr. Clothier and assist him in getting started with the development," said Dailey.



Be sure to stop by and visit Dr. Clothier at Family Smiles Dentistry on Aspen in Broken Arrow, OK between 71st and 81st Streets on the west side of the road.

Developing Our Community

 
By: Neil Dailey

This week the City of Tulsa hosted "developing our community," a community forum for understanding and integrating development processes in Tulsa.

The program began with keynote speaker, Don Himelfarb-City of Tulsa Director of Economics, talking about the creation of the Economic Development Department and the city's role in creating and assisting growth in Tulsa under the Taylor administration. Himelfarb also touched on various issues including the relocation of city hall,  redevelopment around the bok arena with retail, office space and loft style residential properties. 

Pat Treadway, City of Tulsa Planning Department Manager, focused his attention on the revision of the Comprehensive Plan for the city. Treadway stated that there hasn't been a major revision of the total Cmprehensive Plan since the mid 1970's. Treadway introduced "PLANitTulsa" as the new planning process and produced a request from the office of the Mayor to attend public meetings for citywide planning. You can see more about PLANitTulsa at www.planittulsa.org.
 
The entire program was very informative with presentations by the Tulsa Preservation Society, local builders of downtown and midtown properties, neighborhood leaders, City of Tulsa Planning Department on the subject of Comprehensive Plan revisions and INCOG on navigating the city's zoning issues.
