Statement from Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt; Jan. 29

Published on January 29, 2026

This morning, I met with the ownership of the property at 2800 S. Council Road in Southwest Oklahoma City. The owners are not residents of Oklahoma, and this is the only property they own in Oklahoma City.

The owners of the property at 2800 S. Council Road confirmed to me this morning that they are no longer engaged with the Department of Homeland Security about a potential acquisition or lease of this property.

I commend the owners for their decision and thank them on behalf of the people of Oklahoma City.

As Mayor, I ask that every single property owner in Oklahoma City exhibit the same concern for our community in the days ahead.

Mayor Holt is in Washington, DC, this week presiding over the annual winter meeting of the United States Conference of Mayors, where he serves as President of the nation’s mayors.
