MOVE TO BIXBY 2

welcome to

elcome to one of the fastest growing cities in the state of Oklahoma! With a growth rate of nearly 100% since 2000, Bixby is now the 16th largest city in the state and the 4th largest city in Tulsa,

with an estimated 28,000 people.

Some of the major attractions to Bixby are its excellent school system, quality neighborhoods, friendly small town feel with many community amenities, and significant commercial development potential. The percentage of citizens holding a B.S. degree or higher is 2/3rds higher than statewide average at 43%. Our prosperous city also has the highest median home values in the Tulsa Metro Region, which is 70% higher than the state as a whole. Bixby also has the highest per capita income in the Tulsa Metro Region, at 51% higher than the

state as a whole.

Bixby offers interstate and major highway access (I-44, US 169, US 75 via HWY 64 & HWY 67, HWY 64). International air service via the Tulsa International Airport is only 30 minutes from downtown Bixby. Water transport through the Tulsa Port of Catoosa is only 15 minutes away, with more than 2.2 million tons of cargo moved through the Port each year by barge, rail and truck.

In our growing Downtown district, you will find neighborhood establisments such as the Bixby Community Center, Bixby Public Library, Scott’s Hamburgers, Base Camp Bar, Johnson’s Stepping

Stone Cafe, and Charley Young Event Park. Bring the whole family out to Washington Irving Festival, Bixby Rotary’s BBQ n’ Blues Festival, Bixby Outreach Center’s Food Trucks for Kids, Winter Wonderland, Green Corn Festival, and The Taste - all local events that continue to stregthen the Bixby community.

Bixby is centrally located less than 4 hours from the geographic center of the 48 states and less than 3 hours from the population center of the United States. Most population growth in the US is occurring in the South and West, meaning locating in Oklahoma makes sense for the long-term.

We love Bixby and know you will too! We look forward to welcoming you to our city.

Bixby Public School’s vision to create challenging and engaging learning environments for all students and creating a culture of respect through the district-wide Great Expectations initiative remains strong because of the commitment of our faculty, staff, and our strong supportive community. Because of our structured integration of Professional Learning Communities, our strong commitment to data analysis, and our high academic standards, BPS consistently produces some of the highest test scores in the Tulsa region. As a progressive and fast-growing school district, each year we ask more from our employees, and thanks to the continued support from our stakeholders, a grassroots campaign, Bridge the Gap, was launched in May 2016. BTG helps raise money for Bixby Public Schools to provide for programs and academic resources to enrich our students. For more information, please visit www.BridgeTheGapBixby.com

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////FUTUREA BrightA look at the updates coming to Bixby

As of August 2019, the Downtown Streetscape Project is fully underway in Bixby. This project is the first project funded from the Bixby Vision sales tax extension to fund Downtown River Corrider Revitilization. The initial Vision 2025 funding was used for streets, drainage, sidewalks, street lights and landscaping. The first Downtown Streetscape construction was completed in September 2006.“I am so excited to see the finished product of the Streetscapes Project in Downtown Bixby. The progress so far is beautiful and gives a glimpse of what’s to come. I am especially looking forward to additional businesses moving in and there being more activity in downtown,” said Robin Decatur, owner of Robin Decatur Agency-Farmers Insurance and Financial Services, located in Downtown Bixby. The Streetscape project continues in the revitalization efforts with wayfinding, branding, street improvements, a brand new archway towering over the intersection of Dawes and Armstrong, and other placemaking strategies to make downtown more inviting, thus increasing economic development for Downtown Bixby. In addition, The City of Bixby Dawes Office Building and the Bixby Municipal Building are undergoing facelifts to match the blooming Downtown district. Bixby residents have already seen some of the Vision 2025 funds put to work, with the redevelopment of Charley Young Park completed in 2017, and Haikey Creek Flood Prevention, completed in 2019. A few miles north, Bixby residents are seeing a change to the Pedestrian Bridge. Phase 1 of the project began in January 2020, which included power washing and painting the bridge, along with replacing the fencing. Phase 2 will add suracing, ligths, and shade structures. “Bixby has long been one of the fastest growing cities in Oklahoma and the revitalization plans for downtown Bixby will play an important role in attracting new business opportunities. Downtown projects – coupled with the river development by Washington Irving will offer the community endless opportunities to stay in Bixby to shop, eat, and work!” said Justin Langston, Chair of the Bixby Development Foundation.
