Councilor Archie, City Leaders to Host Third Community Conversation Next Week: Event to be Held in West Tulsa on Monday, May 5

Series to bring City Hall to your neighborhood for updates and one-on-one conversations

Following a strong turnout at the first two Community Conversations events in South and East Tulsa, Mayor Monroe Nichols, members of the Tulsa City Council, and other City leaders will continue the series in West Tulsa on Monday.

During each event, residents will hear brief updates from the Mayor, City Council, and other City leaders, followed by an opportunity for one-on-one conversations with City department leaders and staff.

The West Tulsa Community Conversation will be hosted by Mayor Monroe Nichols, District 2 Councilor Anthony Archie, and other City leaders on Monday, May 5, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Dream Center West Campus, 4122 W. 55th Pl., Tulsa, OK, 74107.

"West Tulsa is a community shaped by its historic ties to Route 66 and the strength of its close-knit neighborhoods," Mayor Nichols said. "While I'm proud of the turnout at our first two community conversations, I am just as eager to hear from the residents of West Tulsa as we work to create a bright path forward for every resident in our city."

"Mayor Nichols and I share a commitment to connecting residents to the resources at City Hall," said Councilor Archie. "The west side is a special place, and we're looking forward to this conversation."
