"The 2012 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Muskogee recommended that the City work cooperatively with downtown stakeholders to create a Downtown Master Plan. In summer 2016, City of Muskogee officials began pursuing such an effort. After contacting the University of Oklahoma College of Architecture’s Urban Design Studio and Institute for Quality Communities, the City of Muskogee guided a master planning effort spanning nearly a year with hundreds of contributors. This document is the result of that collaboration, titled Downtown Muskogee: A Landscape of Hope."--Page 2.
