Please note that we have discontinued posting our list of contractors.
We have long maintained this list for the benefit of our clients and local contractors that might not be known to businesses coming to Southwest Oklahoma. This has been maintained at no cost to the contractors on the list and we imposed no restrictions on the names on the list.
While the local Economic Development Committee is promoting using local business whenever possible, some elected Officials have stated that promoting local contractors is a form of cronyism.
Our policy is Southwest Oklahoma first, and that will be good for everyone. By denying most local businesses the opportunity to participate, these officials are limiting the ability for local businesses to grow and are driving local businesses from this area. Many of us have invested in Southwest Oklahoma, in order to do business in Southwest Oklahoma. There is no reason to remain without local work.
These elected officials are funding out of town businesses to compete against local businesses, rather than supporting local businesses. This out of town work is costing more than having the work done locally. They are not spending their money. It is your tax dollars. Remember this when you vote in the upcoming elections.
