Plan unveiled to finish funding of American Indian Cultural Center and Museum in Oklahoma City

A plan was unveiled Monday to finally finish the long-delayed American Indian Cultural Center and Museum along the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City.

State House Speaker Jeff Hickman said a bill will be introduced as soon as Tuesday under which the state would provide $25 million through a bond issue, to be paired with matching funds, to complete the project along Interstates 35 and 40.

“This is the last chapter,” he said. “This is the last piece of the puzzle.”

“Everybody wants a happy ending to this story, so hopefully this is what gets us there.”
