Why Oklahoma

Ripe for Business

Oklahoma is free from high costs and red tape, making it the most fertile land for business in America. While we’re grounded in energy and agriculture, we’re also a rising tide in aerospace, manufacturing, tech — and whatever comes next.

Transportation & Logistics

As Central as it Gets

Rich in infrastructure-ready sites, right there in the middle of it all. Oklahoman operations glide smoothly from raw material to distribution thanks to an interconnected network of air, rail, road, and river and nearly 400 industrial parks.

Where Work Ethic Runs Wild

Hefty relocation incentives and skills training beginning as young as kindergarten mean our state fosters the best and most-prepped in the country. It’s why companies like Google and Goodyear trust their growth to Oklahoma talent.

The site combines robust infrastructure with academic and commercial partnerships, serving as Oklahoma’s flagship space industry hub.

Tulsa Port of Inola

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is planning a $4 billion primary aluminum smelting and production facility spanning 350 acres at Tulsa Port of Inola, marking its selection as the site for the first new U.S. aluminum smelter built in 45 years. The plant is expected to produce approximately 600,000 tons annually and generate about 1,000 direct and 1,800 indirect jobs, contingent on legislative approval of state incentive packages. The Port of Inola, designated a Union Pacific Focus Site, provides extensive rail and shipping integration that supports large-scale industrial operations. EGA’s decision underscores the expanding global manufacturing footprint in northeast Oklahoma.

City of Enid

Enid and its surrounding region offer multiple industrial parks — including Cimarron, 66th Street, Garfield County, and Easterly — totaling over 900 acres and featuring I‑2/I‑3 zoning and BNSF rail access. Much of the land is certified or “site‑ready” to help reduce development risk and expedite move‑in timelines for new industry. The city has invested $4 million in expanding site availability, including purchasing 558 acres for larger-scale industrial uses. Vance Air Force Base — located four miles south of Enid — is the city’s largest employer, generating about $220 million in economic impact annually and training over 410 pilots each year for the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and allied forces. This deep military presence enhances Enid’s defense-oriented ecosystem, influencing logistics, workforce stability, and community infrastructure in nearby industrial sectors.
