The new Oklahoma SITES Program aims to identify communities looking for site assistance, increase partnerships between communities and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce (Commerce), find solutions for challenges facing marketable sites and assist with marketing developed sites at a national level.
Beginning September 1, 2023 Commerce will open an application that will allow communities to submit basic information about their site. Commerce staff will then meet with these communities to discuss potential sites and their capabilities. Commerce will provide resources and information through Commerce staff or consulting firms to endorse or certify these sites. This entire process comes at no cost to the community.
Contact Jared Cooper at 405-213-7623 or jared.cooper@okcommerce.gov for more information on Site Ready.
Attract investment to your community with real estate listing and promotion programs from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce.
Site selectors and corporate real estate professionals use these tools to identify buildings and sites for expansions or new investment in Oklahoma. Commerce provides detailed, site-specific information on properties, available for purchase or lease, including proximity to major transportation routes, area labor force statistics, utilities, demographics, infrastructure and business incentives.
