Good morning, Broken Arrow.

The Rose District in downtown Broken Arrow is planning an expansion that will double the plaza and add new amenities to support local businesses—community engagement is expected to improve as the project moves forward.

John 3:16 Mission will serve hundreds of people in need at its annual Thanksgiving community dinners this week (in Tulsa).

The State Chamber of Oklahoma presented its Oklahoma Competes Education Reform Plan to Tulsa-area business and community leaders Tuesday.

Chamber President Chad Warmington said the plan, modeled after the Mississippi Miracle, aimed to improve literacy rates & support broader education reform with consistent funding.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol urges Broken Arrow drivers to drive safely today as the Thanksgiving holiday travel season shifts into high gear, reminding drivers to stay focused on the road — not their phones — to avoid tragedies from last year.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health advised locals on safe food practices for the holiday season—wash hands for 20 seconds with warm soapy water, clean cutting boards and utensils, thaw turkeys properly and refrigerate leftovers within two hours to avoid foodborne illness.
