This month marks the 20th anniversary of the passage of the original Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS) program.
By voting for a temporary one-cent sales tax, the citizens of Oklahoma City enabled the city to collect nearly $310 million dollars to help fund nine "quality of life" projects in downtown Oklahoma City.
The resulting development and renovations sparked a genuine revitalization of downtown Oklahoma City.
To commemorate this month's anniversary, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber created a video which illustrates the transformation.
