These numbers are very important in attracting retail clients. The numbers are astounding and will be used to provide the most current information available to prospective clients, developers, and other interested parties. The development of a marketing packet to market the City of Owasso to potential customers has been and still is priority. We have been gathering updated demographic data, and working on creating an image of the city that will represent who we are and what we want to become. Last month you reviewed a copy and we have had good feedback. We are making corrections and additions at this time. We are making great progress and a finished package will be available to look at and put into use very soon. We are selecting the best package and graphics layout at this time. I am depending on the City of Owasso team to contribute to the project. The "Locationxpert" software from MPSI has greatly increased our ability to provide the most up to date demographic information available. I shared information about the marketing project to members of the Chamber of Commerce board and had excellent response. The Economic Development page on the City of Owasso's web site is in the process of being updated and will be accessed not only by citizens of Owasso but also potential customers. The Community Development web page was recently redone and has had an increase in "hits" in the last few weeks. I believe the world wide web is a sea of opportunity for the economic development of the City of Owasso. The training I just completed indicated that web page development was one of the keys to marketing our assets in Owasso to the rest of the world. As always, if I can serve you in any way, please call.
