Site Ready Program

Healthy businesses need thriving communities. Strong communities allow employers to recruit and retain the best workers. Sound infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and well managed cities create the foundation for a strong economy.

The objective of the Oklahoma Site Ready certification program is to make business relocation, expansion and development in Oklahoma as inviting as possible.  A site’s successful completion of the Site Ready process guarantees a prospective incoming business that the site is ready for construction.
To become certified as Site Ready, site owners and/or community leaders must complete an application identifying key data about the site to aid site selectors in their searches.  An objective third party then assists the Oklahoma Department of Commerce in evaluating the application to ensure sites meet program requirements.
Once certified, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce offers detailed, site-specific information, including proximity to major transportation routes, area labor force statistics, utilities, cost of living details, and business incentives for site selectors’ considerations.
Within Site Ready, there are eight site categories:

  • Mega Park
  • Aerospace Park
  • Heavy Industrial Park
  • Light Industrial Park
  • Warehouse / Distribution Park
  • Business Services Park
  • Research and Development Park
  • Rural Business / Commerce Park
