The area around the state capitol has made some beautiful improvements over the years. Did you know, we're paying for it?

"Our architecture in the Health Center is wonderful," Programs Officer Denise Martin said. "We have improved the look of this Capitol complex in terms of landscaping. We have also put in monuments, to pay tribute to our Native Americans and our Native Oklahomans."

Working with a $95,844 annual budget, the Commission issues building permits, plan reviews for new projects and construction and works with neighborhoods for historic preservation.
