Ponca City is collecting public input for Vision 2040, a long-term planning effort covering housing, economic development, infrastructure, parks, tourism, safety, transportation, health and quality of life.

The public survey remains open through August 17, 2026. Survey results will be presented to a stakeholder committee appointed by the mayor.

Drake House Local is examining how the committee will be formed and how the results will be released.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO

  • Who will serve on the stakeholder committee?
  • How will committee members be selected?
  • Will committee meetings and recommendations be public?
  • Will the city release complete survey totals?
  • How will younger residents, renters and small-business owners be represented?

Drake House Local has not reached conclusions on these questions. This section identifies matters we intend to examine through public records and interviews.
