Yup, time to change the city's branding campaign from "Oklahoma City: major O&G player." Who even approved that?Quote:

Chant it loud whether you're in city hall, waiting in a Starbucks line, or sitting in a bathroom stall. Do you think that would be enough dcsooner or are there some other ways OKC citizens can raise consciousness about this public disinformation of the O&G industry? Is this how people in other cities acknowledge their overhyped industries?
you seem upset, buddy.Quote:

You asked so here goes. I have never lived in a city or state so dependent on ONE industry. Most places that I have lived when industries decline or major industries relocate. the City/region gets BUSY looking for and recruiting NEW businesses in varied Sectors. OKC seems to have a ready excuse for the decline in the O&G presence in the City/State. Nothing wrong with O&G, it has been for the most part good for Oklahoma, but to not acknowledge that over the last 2 decades the industry has declined and does not offer the stability in Tax revenue or Salaries as it once did. Not too long ago Devon was talked about as as potential sale and we know how Chesapeake has fluctuated over the last few years.
Other places compete for high paying jobs. The companies may be 200-400 employees but the salaries are far above the areas SOL. OKC seems content to lose businesses, lose athletic events etc. Citizens ought to demand better of their elected officials at all levels. economic progress , education, health care , Q of L issues that influence Companies in selecting locations. rather than divisive and frivolous legislation like carry guns, Donald Trump street or whatever.
Couple examples in Raleigh-Durham area: within last year and half., Also, Gov is a Democrat, go figure
1. Microsoft plans 500 new jobs in Morrisville after landing incentives from the state
2. Xerox will create 600 new jobs in Cary as part of a $18.4 million investment, Gov. Roy Cooper announced Tuesday morning.
“Not just any new jobs,” Cooper said. “Jobs with an average salary of over $112,000.”
Xerox will receive more than $13.6 million in taxpayer-funded incentives over 12 years for the promise of the new jobs, which comes to about $23,000 per job.
3. HZO Announces Headquarters Relocation to Raleigh, North Carolina
4. SKAN US Inc., a subsidiary of SKAN AG Switzerland, has moved its US Headquarters to Raleigh, North Carolina.
OKC CoC touts all these accolades about OKC and thats great BUT they haven't for the most part translated to attracting NEW industries to the City

Will never happen, Paycom's campus is a 30-45 minute rush hour drive from Downtown OKC, they would stand to lose or alienate a huge chunk of their workforce that lives in the Piedmont/Deer Creek/North Edmond area. Also given how much of the surrounding land Paycom owns, they are absolutely committed to staying in that location for the long haul.
Good!Quote:

You guys do understand there’s only 6 oil and gas hubs right?
Houston
Dallas
Tulsa
Okc
Denver
Midland
Okc ranks anywhere from 4-6 depending on how dcsooner you look at things.
My apologies :bow:Quote:

Perspective, people.
Okc and Tulsa are diversified, diversifying today and tomorrow, and will continue to do so. The rural parts of the state will continue to shrink and struggle. A nationwide trend that is not unique to Oklahoma in any way shape or form whatsoever. If anything O&G has slowed the decay of rural Oklahoma.Quote:

Wrong. You’ve regularly proven that you know absolutely nothing about commercial real estate, local transactions or business in general.Quote:
