The Oklahoman (12/26, Lackmeyer) reported, "Moments of celebration and plenty of debate surrounded downtown development in 2010, but one observation is without challenge - Oklahoma City's urban core is going through yet another dramatic transformation" as work is about to get underway "on $1.5 billion in private and public construction downtown." The article notes that the upgrades are contrasted "with the start of MAPS in 1993, which originally totaled $237 million and was expected to generate about $100 million in private investment." The article also notes several stories that involved the downtown region during the year, including the creation of the 50-story, $750 million Devon Energy Center which will become "the tallest in the state when completed."
