When it comes to the business of doing business, the Tulsa metro region perfectly balances convenience and affordability with the advantages of a talented workforce, a central location and a pro-business atmosphere. These assets combine to make an ideal home for progressive companies competing in a global economy.
1. Tulsa has the best of both worlds.
Tulsa marries together a big-city economic climate with the quality of life only a smaller community can provide. Tulsa is a dynamic, growing region that offers the fifth-lowest cost for doing business in the nation and is home to some of the nation's largest companies. In turn, Tulsa's workers benefit from the second shortest commute time in the nation, and the cost of living is almost 9 percent below the national average.
2. Tulsa has quality people.
To say the people in Tulsa are friendly would be to sell them short. Tulsans are not only friendly, they are passionate, talented, innovative and successful. Tulsa is a city founded by entrepreneurs, and this entrepreneurial spirit continues today. Tulsa is home to one of the largest young professional organizations in the country, with 7,000 members committed to attracting and retaining Tulsa's next generation of leaders.
3. Tulsa is the definition of "quality of life."
Tulsa offers something for everyone - a thriving arts and entertainment scene, world-class shopping, some of the country's finest golf courses, family-fun attractions and numerous sports teams. Tulsans take pride in a community that is cosmopolitan without the big-city stress. Tulsans benefit from affordable housing, world-class health care, an easy commute and quality education.
4. Tulsa is in the heart of it all.
Centrally located in the United States, Tulsa is conveniently located and remarkably connected to the rest of the world. A number of the nation's largest companies are headquartered in Tulsa because of its central location, pro-business environment and insulation from the current national recession.
5. Tulsa knows the best is yet to come.
Tulsa is experiencing a renaissance. Downtown development is under way, the population is growing and becoming more diverse, and new, innovative industries are emerging. Through visionary leadership, Tulsa is poised to be a leader in alternative sources of energy, including wind power. People from all over the world are taking notice of Tulsa and its momentum.
And this is just the beginning of what Tulsa has to offer...
