There’s been a lot of talk lately as to why we’re weathering this economic downturn so well in Central Oklahoma… so much that it’s tough for me to keep up these days.

Earlier this week, Forbes.com ranked the Oklahoma City metro #12 on their list of The Best Places for Business and Careers, and just a couple of days later BusinessWeek ranked Edmond as one of the best ‘small cities’ for startup businesses in an article which specifically mentioned how attractive the incentives of doing business in Edmond are:

In Edmond, Okla., Charles Seeney has tapped half a million in economic development grants for his five-employee nanomedicine company, BioNanoMimetics. “When you start a small business, economy is key to everything you do—getting the most bang for your dollar,” he says. The incentives, combined with the low cost of doing business there, made the city of 83,000 attractive.

The props our area is receiving just keep piling up, adding up to a nice little resume for Edmond and OKC!
