Excitement is brewing in Broken Arrow as the City Council has awarded a $2.3 million contract to Paragon for significant infrastructure upgrades at key intersections, including Jasper and Aspen, and Tucson and Aspen. This project is set to enhance access to the popular Indian Springs Sports Complex, promising to improve traffic flow and safety for residents and visitors alike. Construction is expected to commence within the next 45 to 60 days, marking a pivotal step in the city’s ongoing development efforts.

In addition to the infrastructure improvements, the council received an update on the highly anticipated Adams Creek Town Center, which will soon rise just east of Lowe's. This new development is projected to feature a 130,000 square foot facility, bringing much-needed retail options to the area, including a Burlington Coat Factory and a Books-A-Million. A groundbreaking ceremony is slated for later this month, generating further enthusiasm among residents eager for new shopping experiences without the need to travel to Tulsa.

The council also discussed the municipal budget for 2025-2026, highlighting a rare decrease in spending due to completed capital improvement projects. This budget aims to maintain essential services such as public safety and infrastructure while addressing community needs. Notably, no utility rate increases were included in this budget, with discussions on utility fees scheduled for later in the summer.

As Broken Arrow continues to grow, these developments signal a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its residents, with infrastructure and retail expansion at the forefront of the city’s agenda.
