Business leaders to gather for October Chamber Forum
The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber will host its next Chamber Forum on Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Petroleum Club in downtown OKC. The discussion will focus on OKC Bond 25, a $2.7 billion general obligation bond proposal that OKC voters will consider on Tuesday, Oct. 14. The bond would fund a wide range of infrastructure projects and is the largest in the city’s history. The Chamber has launched the Keep OKC Moving campaign to build support for the initiative, which it describes as a long-term investment in the city’s roads, parks, public safety and other essential services. Two speakers with deep experience in government, finance and public infrastructure will provide insight into the proposal: Rick J. Moore, executive director of the Oklahoma Municipal Contractors Association, and Gary Jones, government affairs director at OKC Metropolitan Association of Realtors (OKCMAR). Moore has served as executive director of the Oklahoma Municipal Contractors Association since 1999, representing companies that build and maintain infrastructure across the state. Jones has served as government affairs director for the OKCMAR for 11 years, representing the interests of real estate professionals on issues tied to growth, housing and development. Moore and Jones will outline how the bond package would keep pace with OKC’s rapid growth, address aging infrastructure and maintain past investments without raising property tax rates. The conversation will focus on why streets, bridges, drainage and public safety facilities are at the center of the bond and how these projects impact residents’ daily lives. The Chamber Forum series brings together business leaders, public officials and residents to explore policy issues that affect Oklahoma City’s growth. Doors open at 11 a.m. for networking, and the program will begin at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $55 for Chamber members and $65 for nonmembers. The deadline to register is Oct. 3.
