This document discusses two propositions - Proposition 1 and Proposition 2 - that will be on the November 6 general election ballot to extend the Vision2025 sales tax for 13 additional years. Proposition 1 allocates $386.88 million for economic development projects like improvements to the Tulsa International Airport industrial complex and a $52.94 million job creation fund. Proposition 2 allocates $361.92 million for quality of life improvements like funding for city and county capital projects.

Vision2 Summary
Revenue from the Vision2025 initiative, passed by voters in 2003, has resulted in better roads, improvements at Expo Square and the Tulsa Convention
Center, the building of the BOK Center, and many other significant accomplishments throughout Tulsa County.
Vision2 is a proposal to extend the Vision2025 six-tenths-of-a-penny sales tax for 13 additional years. By keeping taxes the way they are right now, all

programs that we can all enjoy, Vision2 also designates revenue for specific projects determined by the people of each city in Tulsa County.
