Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor and local emergency personnel were among the guests at the dedication of Tulsa's new 911 Center Tuesday morning.

The center, located at 801 E. Oklahoma St. in Lansing Business Park II, replaces the old center previously located adjacent to the former city hall building on Civic Center Plaza. A Homeland Security grant and 911 fees on phone bills funded the $9.3 million construction cost.

"This truly is a team effort for building and operating this center," Taylor said.

The 911 Center will host fire, police and EMSA dispatch for Tulsa and surrounding communities, including Catoosa, Sperry, Berryhill and Oak Grove.
