Bartlesville Development Authority sells 27 acres to Dinner Out LLC for future development

The Bartlesville Planning Commission meeting on April 22, 2025, focused on the development of a 20.27-acre property located just east of the airport, near the Phillips 66 Research Center. The site, which has a history of various ownerships, was previously occupied by Siemens and later by Versa Integrity Group. In 2024, the Bartlesville Development Authority sold the property to Dinner Out LLC, an affiliate of Lincoln Electric Products, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment.

The meeting provided a detailed overview of the site's utilities, noting the presence of a 12-inch water line along Wiley Post Road and US Highway 60, as well as a 6-inch sewer force main serving the property. Despite its commercial designation by Osage County, the property is currently unzoned, meaning there are no specific zoning regulations governing its use. This lack of zoning allows for flexibility in potential development, although the surrounding areas are zoned for residential agriculture.

The discussion highlighted the significance of the property’s location and its potential for future development, especially given its proximity to the airport and existing infrastructure. The Planning Commission's insights into the site's history and utilities will inform future planning and development decisions in Bartlesville.
