T.I.M.E. Projects

Historically, our residents have united to do what is needed to improve our city to ensure it remains as one of the finest communities in Oklahoma. We believe this hometown standard remains true today.

We are calling on our Stillwater friends and families to come together, share input and help us determine projects of need and funding sources. 

Now is the T.I.M.E. - Together Investing in Municipal Excellence

“We all want to live in a safe community where citizens are efficiently served and resources are managed responsibly. Together Investing in Municipal Excellence means a brighter future for Stillwater and its residents,” said Stillwater City Manager Norman McNickle.

TIME is driven by the City’s mission and vision.

  • Mission: To build a vibrant community for every resident through our efficient services, shared spaces and smart planning.
  • Vision: Stillwater will be a dynamic, inclusive community with a spirit of innovation, growth and opportunity.
