Does anyone think the Kickapoo Turnpike will spur a new wave of housing development in Jones and Choctaw? Especially once the southern extension is under construction to Norman/Noble/I-35.

They need to build a new freeway going to east connecting the South I-44/I-35 junction to the Kickapoo. Ideally they’d build it to be expanded to 10-14 lanes if/when the time comes. For the time being a 4 lane freeway would be awesome
Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) 'willfully' violated open meetings law:
District Judge Timothy Olsen declared the open meetings act violation was "willful."
“The agendas for the meetings in question clearly do not comply with the (Open Meeting Act),” Olsen said. “The OTA knew the general routes of the turnpike plan for ACCESS Oklahoma before the February 22, 2022, meeting. The agenda items were void of any description of the routes for which the business being transacted were necessary.”
Stan Ward, attorney for the opposition group PIKE OFF, said the ruling will force the turnpike authority to start the process from scratch and that all decisions since February 22, including the engineering contracts, are invalid.

Hey Pete/Martin. Could these turnpike posts be shifted to the OTA thread?

There's the OSCN link - can find the decision there.
Oklahoma had net in-migration of 28,481 in 2021 and 32,528 in 2022 for a total of 61,009 in 2021-22. That ranks #10 nationally.
The Top 10 in 2021-22
1. Florida: 735,279
2. Texas: 585,868
3. North Carolina: 240,610
4. Arizona: 183,033

Any growth that shows Oklahoma and its top population center is growing is good for the state.
