Who We Are

In 2014, an ad-hoc group of community stakeholders assembled to advocate for ethical redevelopment on OKC’s Eastside.

Those community leaders formed a unified resource – NEOKC Renaissance – made by our community, for our community. Our focus is rooted in Northeast OKC, inviting our community to engage with one another to make the Eastside better for all. We do this by reimagining pathways to opportunities that support capacity building and uplift neighborhoods, developers, and local businesses. By prioritizing talent, investment, placekeeping, and programming, we equip our neighborhood with the resources and relationships to catalyze economic and community revitalization.
