Construction of Okla. City Indian Cultural Center Could Be Delayed

Construction of the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum in downtown Oklahoma City could be delayed because lawmakers failed to approve a key funding measure — a $43 million bond package — before the legislative session ended, according to a piece published on NewsOn6.com on June 2.

State Sen. Harry Coates said that there is enough funding to continue construction for a few months, but, after that, work could come to a halt.

The $170 million center, which will occupy more than 250 acres near the Oklahoma River and Interstate 35, was scheduled to be finished in 2014.
