Oklahoma City
Community Overview
Oklahoma City has been making some noise lately. Top national rankings in 10 different quality of life categories. Billions of dollars in city and education improvements. New corporate locations. The fastest growing entertainment district in the southwest. And the list goes on for the state’s Capital City and the ten-county metro area that is home to 1.4 million.
Location
Oklahoma City is strategically located in the center of the continental U.S. and at the crossroads of the nation’s interstate highway system - I-35, I-40 and I-44.
Perfectly Situated for Business
Oklahoma City has long been a production, distribution and business services hub. Major industry sectors include aerospace, energy, biosciences, insurance, agribusiness and information technology. Key advantages include: consistently low business costs; a productive labor force of over 775,000; prime access to growing state and regional markets; a world-class training network of 16 technology centers; 18 public and private universities, major medical and aerospace research centers; “shovel ready” sites with interstate, rail and runway access; and special “cash” incentives. The city’s newly expanded Will Rogers World Airport provides direct and non-stop service to over 20 destinations.
Quality of Life
Oklahoma City has all the major amenities you would expect from a major metro – with great restaurants, countless arts and cultural opportunities, professional sports (including the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder) and a cost of living that is 13% below U.S. average.
A Better Living, A Better Life – that sums up today’s Oklahoma City.
