On January 28, 2022, Urban Land Institute Oklahoma will host their 8^th Annual Impact Awards.  The event recognizes projects that exemplify best practices in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities, through each project’s contributions to the built environment and the public realm. The finalists represent those projects and initiatives that were determined to best promote the creation of resilient communities, intelligent densification and urbanization, as well as outstanding quality of design and construction.  This year’s event is being co-chaired by Christa Ryckbost (Patcraft) and Gina Foxhoven (Livingston Properties).
