Any new economic developments?

[Pete]

Competed and won what? when? Non Government technical/manufacturing (tinker); non start up that never starts up, greater than 400 jobs, not amazon (every state) has those it's their business model.

Boeing moved hundreds of very high-paying engineering jobs from Long Beach, CA.

I could name a bunch more but you are always searching for the darkside and don't like information that is counter to your narrative.

Pete, with all due respect, I said not Tinker related, but OK .

I visited with the new Carvana conditioning facility this week. their hiring event on Wednesday and Thursday went really well. they are excited to get opened up in OKC.

[chssooner]

I was saying the economics need to line up, given all the other tax cuts this state is taking.

But according to others, OK might as well say they struck out before stepping in the batters box. Might as well delete this thread, then.

[Plutonic Panda]

Hopefully, please let Oklahoma get this. Being from OKC I’d prefer the 405 gets it but I’d just as thrilled if Tulsa did get it if that is there other consideration. 1 billion in incentives is nothing for a state like Oklahoma.

[Plutonic Panda]

Yeah as critical as I can be sometimes, I think there is some criticism to be dealt when being frustrated by the constant massive chip manufacturers or corporate relocations elsewhere but to discount Boeings investment is ridiculous. That is an absolute huge win. Why would you not count that?

Plus we’re getting Locke Supply HQ. Carvana Center, Canoo Manufacturing plant, Boeing Expansion, Heartland HQ, Costco Call Center, Signify Health, Consumer Cellular, and there reports of dozens of more major expansions in the pipeline. There’s also a new major aeronautical company opening up in Ardmore. A new Seattle based emissions tech firm relocated its HQ to Tulsa. Eighty Twenty Solar opened up in downtown OKC.

I’m positive this state is going to get some very exciting major relocations in the coming years.

Very well said, PP. The state and MSA enjoy a very nice growth trajectory in a number of areas, and a bullish commodities market doesn't hurt either.

In a lot of ways, it feels like NW OKC is where Nashville was in 2009: at the beginning of a boom.

Right and not to mention the already booming local employers like Hobby Lobby and Paycom.

MidAmerica Industrial Park in Pryor gets everything, geez.

This is where the state is focusing its efforts to create an advanced manufacturing industry cluster and specifically EV manufacturing . This has been in the works for years.

[LocoAko]

Interesting. Wonder if that's why there's been more rumbling about the legislature embracing more EV bills this year?

[ChrisHayes]

OKC needs something like Mid America Industrial Park. Too bad the area east of 35 and south of 240 isn't being modeled after that. It's going to be important, just not as much manufacturing as I'd like to see.

If this is real this would be cool: https://news4sanantonio.com/news/loc...wn-marty-mcfly

[jccouger]

Debated if this was worth a new thread, probably not until more details get out or we officially get selected but this could be absolutely massive

In addition to the Panasonic factory that could bring 4,000 new jobs Canoo has started site work for their planned factory that could employ up to 2,000 workers. If both projects come to fruition this would go a long way toward building up the EV cluster the state wants for NE OK.

Canoo has already started work on their facility near Tulsa?

[Swake]

Canoo has already started work on their facility near Tulsa?

And they are hiring for their engineering office in Tulsa.

Yes.
