| OML Economic Development Survey |
|
Cities and towns play a vital role in partnership with the state in regards to economic development. Municipalities are where businesses choose to locate as they receive fire and police protection, water and other valuable services that cities provide. Not to mention that 76% of individuals live within a city or town. To that end, OML is conducting an economic development survey
. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Daniel McClure by calling 405-528-7515; 800-324-6651. Thank you for your time!
