SPECIAL GUEST: Dennis Whitaker, City of Tulsa, gave a fantastic presentation on Vision 2025 plans for Route 66. He commented on the economic potential of elevating Tulsa to a destination. The Visitor Center will take about 18 months to plan and 18 months to build. Funding seems to be in place from Vision 2025 and other grants. There will also be "gateways" to the East and West to define the Tulsa experience.
