    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for January 8, 2025. We're starting the day with a look at the latest developments in our city.

    First off, let's talk about the booming tech scene in Tulsa. The city has been designated as an official Tech Hub, with experts predicting an incredible 56,000 new tech jobs over the next decade. Major companies like Boeing and PwC are leading the charge, investing heavily in AI integration and cybersecurity innovations. The Tulsa Remote program is also making waves, offering a $10,000 grant to remote workers who relocate to Tulsa. This program has already brought in over 2,400 remote workers, with an average income of $104,600[2].

    In other news, the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission is set to meet today to discuss various planning, development, and zoning matters. This meeting will take place at 1:00 p.m. in the Tulsa City Council Chambers, located at 175 E. 2nd St[3][5].

    Moving on to the job market, we're seeing a significant increase in demand for tech professionals, with average salaries hitting around $92,500 per year. Companies like Cloudaction and ONEOK are creating exciting opportunities across different tech specialties. The startup scene is also thriving, with programs like Tulsa Innovation Labs partnering with both public and private sectors to create more opportunities in emerging tech fields[2].

    In new business activity, we're seeing a mix of openings and closings. Unfortunately, a downtown fire in Wagoner has left a business owner heartbroken. On a brighter note, the She Brews festival is embracing change and looking forward to future events[1].

    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Monday, January 6, 2025.

    We start with some significant developments in our city's legal landscape. President Biden has vetoed a bill for new federal judges in Oklahoma, which means Oklahomans will have to wait longer for these positions to be filled. However, Governor Kevin Stitt and the Judicial Nominating Commission are working to fill several judicial vacancies in the state. This includes appointments that could see Stitt having placed more than 40 judges on the bench by the end of 2025[1].

    In other news, the City of Tulsa and the Muscogee Nation are in settlement talks to resolve a jurisdictional dispute. This comes after a lawsuit filed by the Muscogee Nation over the prosecution of tribal citizens by the city. The talks are part of a joint motion to stay proceedings and allow for settlement negotiations until January 17[1].

    Moving to our job market snapshot, Tulsa's tech scene is booming with a 27% growth in software developer roles and an average salary of $88,448. Major companies like Boeing and PwC are setting up shop here, and programs like Tulsa Remote are offering $10,000 grants to remote workers, making the city an attractive spot for tech professionals. The city is expected to create 56,000 new tech jobs over the next decade[2].

    In real estate news, there are no major updates on notable commercial or residential property sales, but we'll keep an eye on any significant developments. The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission will meet on January 8 to discuss various planning and zoning matters[3].

    From city hall, we have updates on decisions that affect daily life. The Tulsa Planning Office is working on several projects, including the review of zoning matters and development plans. Residents are encouraged to participate in these discussions to ensure their voices are heard[3].

    In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report, but we'll keep an eye on any significant changes in the local business landscape.

    In today's crime report, Tulsa police are investigating the shooting of an 8-year-old boy who was asleep in bed. Additionally, a man was arrested after a pursuit ended in a crash, and a stolen pistol and vehicle were recovered[5].

    Finally, a feel-good community story: the Tulsa Remote program has brought over 2,400 remote workers to the city, contributing to the local economy and community.
