MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR & TRUSTEES OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FROM: RICKEY HAYES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUBJECT: OEDA Claims for May 2004 DATE: 06/04/04 There were no claims for May 2004 MEMORANDUM TO: OWASSO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: RICKEY HAYES { SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORT DATE: June 10, 2004 As you know I recently attended the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) convention in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 23 -26. Several meetings were scheduled with tenants of the Smith Farm Marketplace, and I was also available to assist local developers on site during the convention. Meetings were held with Target, Red Robin Restaurant Group, Outback Steakhouse, Logan's Steakhouse, Brinker Restaurant Group (On the Border), Payless Shoes and several other retailers. I answered questions regarding infrastructure needs, street construction plans, available sites, and building codes. I had the opportunity to speak to the Skiatook Chamber of Commerce at their regular monthly luncheon yesterday on what is happening in our city as well as the importance of regional strategies, marketing, and cooperation in economic development. I continue to work on updating our marketing material. We are currently updating the web page and all the marketing material. The material will change in appearance and current figures of sales and demographic data will be provided. The marketing material has been used quite effectively over the last two years in our negotiations with various retailers. Two groups continue discussions locally in regard to construction of a medical complex for the City of Owasso. One group, Alliance Healthcare, is working with officials of the Larkin Bailey Trust and the other group, the Haskell Enterprise Group, has 67 acres near the Owasso Market under contract for a site for the hospital and medical complex. The addition of a modern medical complex in our city is an essential proponent of our quality of life as our population increases and commercial growth and development continues. Both groups have had recent media exposure and further information will be forwarded to you as soon as it is received. As always, if I can serve you in any way, please call. Your input and direction are always important to the success of our efforts.
