MOVE TO BIXBY // A MESSAGE FROM US
welcome to
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
elcome to one of the fastest growing cities in the state of Oklahoma! With a growth rate of nearly
100% since 2000, Bixby is now the 16th largest city in the state and the 4th largest city in Tulsa,
with an estimated 28,000 people.
Some of the major attractions to Bixby are its excellent school system, quality neighborhoods,
friendly small town feel with many community amenities, and significant commercial development potential. The
percentage of citizens holding a B.S. degree or higher is 2/3rds higher than statewide average at 43%. Our
prosperous city also has the highest median home values in the Tulsa Metro Region, which is 70% higher than the
state as a whole. Bixby also has the highest per capita income in the Tulsa Metro Region, at 51% higher than the
state as a whole.
Bixby offers interstate and major highway access (I-
44, US 169, US 75 via HWY 64 & HWY 67, HWY
64). International air service via the Tulsa International
Airport is only 30 minutes from downtown Bixby. Water
transport through the Tulsa Port of Catoosa is only 15
minutes away, with more than 2.2 million tons of cargo
moved through the Port each year by barge, rail and
truck.
In our growing Downtown district, you will find
neighborhood establisments such as the Bixby
Charley Young Event Park Community Center, Bixby Public Library, Scott’s
Hamburgers, Base Camp Bar, Johnson’s Stepping
Stone Cafe, and Charley Young Event Park. Bring the whole family out to Washington Irving Festival, Bixby
Rotary’s BBQ n’ Blues Festival, Bixby Outreach Center’s Food Trucks for Kids, Winter Wonderland, Green Corn
Festival, and The Taste - all local events that continue to stregthen the Bixby community.
Bixby is centrally located less than 4 hours from the geographic center of the 48 states and less than 3 hours from
the population center of the United States. Most population growth in the US is occurring in the South and West,
meaning locating in Oklahoma makes sense for the long-term.
We love Bixby and know you will too! We look forward to welcoming you to our city.

Bixby Public Schools - A “Model District”
Bixby Public School’s vision to create challenging and engaging learning environments for all students and
creating a culture of respect through the district-wide Great Expectations initiative remains strong because of
the commitment of our faculty, staff, and our strong supportive
community. Because of our structured integration of Professional
Learning Communities, our strong commitment to data
analysis, and our high academic standards, BPS consistently
produces some of the highest test scores in the Tulsa region.
As a progressive and fast-growing school district, each year
we ask more from our employees, and thanks to the continued
support from our stakeholders, a grassroots campaign, Bridge
the Gap, was launched in May 2016. BTG helps raise money
for Bixby Public Schools to provide for programs and academic
resources to enrich our students. For more information, please

Bright FUTURE
A //////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A look at the updates coming to Bixby
As of August 2019, the Downtown Streetscape
Project is fully underway in Bixby. This project is the first
project funded from the Bixby Vision sales tax extension
to fund Downtown River Corrider Revitilization. The
initial Vision 2025 funding was used for streets,
drainage, sidewalks, street lights and landscaping. The
first Downtown Streetscape construction was completed
in September 2006.
“I am so excited to see the finished product of the
Streetscapes Project in Downtown Bixby. The progress
so far is beautiful and gives a glimpse of what’s to come.
I am especially looking forward to additional businesses
moving in and there being more activity in downtown,”
Downtown Bixby
said Robin Decatur, owner of Robin Decatur Agency-
Farmers Insurance and Financial Services, located in
Downtown Bixby.
The Streetscape project continues in the
revitalization efforts with wayfinding, branding, street
improvements, a brand new archway towering over
the intersection of Dawes and Armstrong, and other
placemaking strategies to make downtown more
inviting, thus increasing economic development for
Downtown Bixby. In addition, The City of Bixby Dawes
Office Building and the Bixby Municipal Building are
undergoing facelifts to match the blooming Downtown
district.
Bixby residents have already seen some of the
Vision 2025 funds put to work, with the redevelopment
Intersection of Dawes & Armstrong
of Charley Young Park completed in 2017, and Haikey
Creek Flood Prevention, completed in 2019.
A few miles north, Bixby residents are seeing
a change to the Pedestrian Bridge. Phase 1 of the
project began in January 2020, which included power
washing and painting the bridge, along with replacing
the fencing. Phase 2 will add suracing, ligths, and shade
structures.
“Bixby has long been one of the fastest growing
cities in Oklahoma and the revitalization plans for
downtown Bixby will play an important role in attracting
new business opportunities. Downtown projects –
coupled with the river development by Washington
Irving will offer the community endless opportunities
to stay in Bixby to shop, eat, and work!” said Justin
Langston, Chair of the Bixby Development Foundation.
