Good morning, Norman.
📰 Economy
Oklahoma homeowners’ insurance rates are among the nation’s highest—far above the national average—with data showing that severe hail is not the chief cause.
Local experts and officials argue that legislative loopholes and outdated regulations let insurers raise costs while limiting consumer protection, and they urge lawmakers to act.
🏛️ Government
Norman City Council approved a phasing plan for the Rock Creek Entertainment District during a special meeting Tuesday.
The plan includes a performance venue and sports arena plus a community plaza, retail space and hotel—with possible office space and multifamily housing added—at an estimated cost of about $1 billion with over $600 million coming from the city's TIF financing.
