A program that aims to bring high-paying jobs and capital investment to the region experienced a near-record number of 907 primary jobs being announced in January.
Representatives of the Tulsa’s Future program, which is a collaborative effort between the Tulsa Regional Chamber and regional partners, gathered Monday to showcase recent accomplishments of the regional economic development program.
“We absolutely did start off 2013 in a terrific manner. We had 907 jobs announced by companies who are either expanding in this area or who are new to this area,” said Stuart Solomon, chair of the Tulsa’s Future oversight committee and chief operating officer of AEP-PSO.
