In 2025, Enid experienced meaningful growth fueled by strong partnerships and strategic investment. One of the most significant milestones was being selected as one of only two Oklahoma communities to partner with Heartland Forward, a national think-and-do tank dedicated to strengthening regional economies. This partnership positions Enid to advance talent development, entrepreneurship, health and wellness, and long-term competitiveness—through action, not just ideas.
A key priority for 2026 is industrial park readiness. With strong transportation access, improved site certification, and strategic infrastructure planning, Enid is positioned to attract new industries and support existing employers—creating jobs and long-term economic stability.
At the heart of it all is quality of life. Enid continues to offer affordability, excellent schools, short commutes, and a growing arts, dining, and entertainment scene. These elements make our community not just a place to work, but a place to truly live.
As we move forward, Thrive is more than a theme—it’s a commitment to collaboration, growth, and community excellence. Together, we will continue building a region recognized not only for what it produces, but for how it prospers.
Because in Enid, we don’t just plan for the future—we build it.
