This $10.7 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307) supports the Tulsa Regional Advanced Mobility Corridor initiative led by the Indian Nations Council of Governments. The funding will advance aerial mobility technology and transition the region from legacy industries to advanced mobility, automation, and unmanned aerial systems. Oklahoma State University will partner with the Osage Nation to develop a flight test range for aerial mobility technologies and establish the Launchpad Research and Technology Center in Tulsa's Greenwood neighborhood. Additionally, $XX will support Osage Innovative Solutions LLC (doing business as Tallgrass Technology Services) to hire a flight technician for Osage Nation Skyway36 and deploy marketing and community engagement activities. Once implemented, the investment is expected to develop and strengthen regional industry clusters while embracing economic equity, job growth, and U.S. competitiveness.
