As exciting as that time must have been, it doesn’t compare to the energy and exuberance of today’s Oklahoma City. Home to more than 1.2 million people, OKC is making waves on the international scene by continually improving our city’s quality of life. You can see it everywhere. In the urban fabric of our growing downtown. On the tree-lined streets of historic neighborhoods and arts districts that help to foster our famous friendliness and creative output. On the smiles of a raucous crowd at an NBA Oklahoma City Thunder game. And in our diverse economy that’s among the strongest in the nation. Home to industry and entrepreneurship, creatives and the courageous, famous chefs and funny actresses, not to mention politicians and professional athletes, Oklahoma City makes everyone feel at ease. The best part is that we’ve only just begun. A true renaissance is in motion, and it’s time for you to join us. So come on out and let’s have some fun. Oklahoma City makes it easy.

After all, that’s why we say in Oklahoma City, it’s truly a better living and a better life. 4 GREATER OKLAHOMA CITY CHAMBER OKC - YOUR NEXT HOMETOWN Located in the heart of the state, Oklahoma City is the perfect combination of big city and small town, making it a rare mixture of everything you want without everything you don’t. With a downtown ABOUT OKC urban renaissance, quaint neighborhoods, a burgeoning art scene, plenty of recreational opportunities, and abundant parks and lakes, Oklahoma City has something for everyone. The city has a long history with innovation and creativity. From the abundance of arts and cultural experiences to the public investment projects that have brought on Oklahoma City’s modern day renaissance, our residents know how to create a city they’re proud to call home. The first citizens of Oklahoma City took fate into their own hands and created a city from scratch. History seemed to repeat itself in the 1990s when citizens voted for a penny sales tax to fund investments known locally as MAPS (Metropolitan Area Projects). Nine projects and $350 million later, Oklahoma City had a modern day renaissance on its hands and today, there’s no sign of stopping. The original MAPS led to more than $5 billion in total investment, including both public and private investment projects that are continuing our renaissance. Today, our reinvented downtown boasts the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder, a U.S. Olympic training center for rowing and canoe/kayak, an inviting array of restaurants, arts and entertainment venues and more. When you call Oklahoma City home, you’ll experience our past, present and future, and discover for yourself why our residents just can’t get enough of this thriving, urban metropolis. Bricktown Canal RELOCATION GUIDE 5 Arts & Music Oklahoma City boasts more than just dozens of world-class museums and art galleries.
