I was briefly in Stillwater, Oklahoma last week giving a talk to their new economic development organization Forward Stillwater. This very forward looking economic development organization raised $2.5 million this year to increase the economic opportunities not only in Stillwater, but on a regional basis out 50 miles. They are on the cutting edge of economic development.
Stillwater is a thriving community of 40,000 that is blessed to be home to Oklahoma State University. OSU accounts for about 25% of the economic activity in the city and is churning out graduates that many companies are yearning for. Combining a focused economic development effort with the power of OSU is a strong mix that should continue the growth that I saw taking place in this booming agurb®.
