$3 Million Renovations Coming To Golden Driller Plaza, First Upgrades Since 1966
Multimillion-dollar changes are coming to Golden Driller Plaza at Expo Square. The goal is to make the area more park-like.
Tulsa s Golden Driller takes on new looks all the time, whether it s an OSU-Tulsa tie for graduation, pink boots for breast cancer awareness, or the Tesla look, vying for Elon Musk s attention. Right now, he is masked up during the fight against COVID-19.
While his appearance has changed over the years, there have not been any renovations to his surroundings on the ground, until now. The first upgrade since Expo Square was built and the driller arrived back in 1966, is now underway.

The Tulsa City Council wants to give the Muscogee (Creek) Nation two more years to decide whether it can commit $16 million dollars to building an Arkansas River Dam near 101st Street.
The deadline for that was Dec. 31 of this year. The council voted last week to extend the deadline to Dec. 31, 2022. Councilor Phil Lakin said the additional time will ensure everyone’s budgets have recovered from 2019’s spring floods and the coronavirus pandemic and will give Tulsa officials time to meet with Muscogee (Creek) officials about the matter. I don’t know when we’ll be out of duress, just generally, as a community, and then I don’t know when they’ll be out of duress. I have no access to their financial statements. They’re the only ones who know, Lakin said.
