Oklahoma City:  Energized and Revitalized

In the past ten years, Oklahoma City has spent
approximately $370 million dollars in building an Energized and Revitalized Capitol. Among the many exciting additions to our City is a state of the art 12,000-seat ballpark, 20,000-seat Sports Arena, a new downtown library, a new trolley system-Oklahoma Spirit, and the Bricktown Canal Entertainment District. In addition, extensive renovations have been made to the Cox Business Services Convention Center–the premier convention facility in the region. Other renovation sites include the Civic Center Music Hall, the North Canadian River recreation area, and State Fair Park - home to world and national championship shows each year.

Oklahoma City recreational areas are in abundance. Visitors and residents enjoy approximately 80 miles of trails, 147 parks and 12 metro area lakes. Not to mention the 22 public golf courses and 11 private golf and country clubs. The Capitol is also home to highly acclaimed golf courses such as: the Gaillardia (2001 & 2002 Senior PGA Championship site), Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, Quail Creek Golf and Country Club (1987 PGA Seniors Tournament), and Oak Tree Golf and Country Club (1988 PGA Championship site). 

Oklahoma City is Business Friendly

Now more than ever, with reduced tax rates and lower overall tax structure, businesses are taking a closer look at Oklahoma's lower cost structure. In fact, Economy.com listed Oklahoma as the third-lowest-cost-of-doing-business state. 

Advertising Agencies

A 15% commission is paid to recognized agencies if payment is made within 30 days of date of billing.

Conventions

Each year thousands of people attend one of the many conventions held in Oklahoma City. This alone brings in millions of dollars to the city’s economy. Excellent accommodations, affordable rates and a friendly atmosphere make Oklahoma City an ideal location for any size meeting and one of the most accommodating convention destinations in the Southwest.
