The city of Oklahoma City may have found a partner in the Chickasaw Nation to finish the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum in Oklahoma City. The facility has been left unfinished due to a lack of funds.
The Legislature passed a measure during the previous session giving Oklahoma City the right to move forward with the project, since the state was not going to provide any more funding.
Senator Kyle Loveless has been a supporter of the museum’s completion.
“I am pleased the committee appointed by Oklahoma City Mayor Cornett today heard the consultant’s report on this project and it now heads to the full City Council. This proposed plan exemplifies the Oklahoma Standard. City, county, state and tribal governments have all joined together to showcase our unique history and shared culture by moving forward with this Smithsonian-style museum,” said Loveless.
“This project was started decades ago and I am relieved to see it come one step closer to completion. The conservative plan passed by the legislature last session allows the City of Oklahoma City to take over operations of the Center from the state so we can move forward with the completion of the museum and begin sharing our state’s story with the world.”
An Oklahoma City committee heard the Chickasaw Nation proposal this week. The full City Council will need to approve the plan.
Sure, and you can call it “The White Elephant Resuscitation Plan.”
I still think the best solution involves TNT followed by a Love’s Truck Stop.
I think the Love’s Truck Stop is a good idea! Love’s is an American success story that began right here in Oklahoma. The biggest, fanciest Love’s ever built would look good at the intersection of I-35, I-40 and I-44!
Bulldoze it.
