Broken Arrow | Our Citizens - NSU Broken Arrow Campus
The Broken Arrow City Council unanimously voted to call for an election on December 8, 1998, with two propositions on the ballot: one to allow usage of City owned land as a campus for higher education and one to approve the issuance of revenue bonds to build the first phase of the campus. The bonds would be retired with funds received from the temporary ½-cent sales tax, with sunset provisions of automatic termination upon payment of bonds. The two propositions were passed by a large majority of the voters and the wheels were set in motion to bring NSU to Broken Arrow. ... [Read More]

It was transportation, in fact, which ignited the amazing growth of Broken Arrow beginning in the mid-1960s.

Then the Broken Arrow Expressway joined downtown Tulsa with our community and real estate developers quickly recognized the potential for a population explosion. ... [Read More]
