For those of you outside the bubble of Oklahoma City, MAPS 3 is a seven-year, nine-month one-cent sales tax that OKC voters passed on Tuesday. If you are interested in the projects the tax funds you can go here: http://www.okc.gov. The first MAPS, passed in 1993, revived Bricktown and the second, MAPS for Kids, passed in 2001, funded improvements to area schools and was extended last year to renovate the Ford Center to attract a NBA franchise. MAPS 3 aims to improve quality of life and spur economic development.
Above are a few photos taken at the watch party held at the Cox Convention Center. The bottom image is a rendering of the approximately 70-acre central park which is part of the package and includes the logo I designed for the initiative. Although, because of my position with the City, I chose not to actively campaign for or against, I'm excited for a lot of the projects that are included and enjoyed the heated debate the campaigns sparked.
