Will Enid Be The Next Big Thing?
In an article uploaded to NewsOK.com it is speculated that the next economic development hot spot in Oklahoma just might be Enid. The article states that there's an effort under way to make Enid the state's third largest city. And it's all being masterminded by the folks at Continental Resources.
Continental Resources is a company on the move and has seen its growth skyrocket within the last few years. And because of this growth they are needing qualified staff to keep up with the technology that allows the company to discover new sources of oil. Continental is not only seeking visibility for itself, but also for Enid.
Having just created the state's newest billionaire, company officials want the world to know where Enid, OK, is. They want the world to know that small companies of any industry can come to Enid and flourish.
Because of the influx of these high-pay professionals, Enid will see the need for services such as fine dining, family activities and an increase in the building of larger homes.
Enid is prime for a growth spurt and should look for ways to attract this higher paying work force. Oakwood Country Club has taken a step in the right direction by developing a plan to tear down their old club in order to build a brand new up-to-date facility. These are the types of developments that will bring higher paid individuals to Enid which will in turn help market Enid as a progressive city.
With all of the controversy about cleaning up run down neighborhoods in Enid, maybe our City Fathers are smarter than you think they are.

I'm old enough to remember when Enid was the third largest city in Oklahoma. I think it is quite likely that this might come to pass and it's pretty exciting!
maybe enid will allow some decent stores to move in someday. we still have to travel to OKC, T town, Wichita, or order from catalogs.
