Growth Season - Backed by Numbers

March marks the beginning of spring — a season often associated with renewal and growth. In Enid, growth isn’t just a seasonal theme. It’s measurable, intentional, and strategic.

Over the past three years, our community has seen steady increases in total sales activity — growing from $915.5 million in 2023 to nearly $958 million in 2025. That represents more than $42 million in additional economic activity and a 4.6% overall increase during that time.

These numbers matter.

Sales activity is one of the clearest indicators of local economic health. It reflects business stability, consumer confidence, and the strength of our local marketplace. In an environment where many communities are facing economic uncertainty, Enid’s trajectory tells a story of resilience and forward momentum.

But growth does not happen by accident.

It happens when residents choose to shop locally.
It happens when businesses reinvest and expand.
It happens when infrastructure is improved and sites are prepared.
It happens when we work together with a long-term strategy in mind.

At ERDA, our focus remains balanced and disciplined — supporting existing employers while preparing for future investment. Initiatives like the industrial parks providing more than 700 acres for development ensure we are competitive for new industry, while our ongoing business retention efforts strengthen the companies already driving our economy.

Revenue growth strengthens our ability to invest in site readiness, infrastructure, workforce development, and quality-of-life improvements. Every dollar circulating within our community contributes to a stronger foundation for tomorrow.

This is Growth Season — not just because it’s spring, but because the data confirms it.

Thank you for continuing to support Enid businesses and for being part of a community that understands growth is built intentionally.

Together, we will keep building momentum.
