Ponca City Development Authority

LOOKING DEEPLY ..... into your crystal ball may be as accurate as listening to the economists, pundits and politicians about what the economic future holds for consumers. One thing is certain, people gotta eat. Instead of debating the price of eggs, PCDA staff are looking at which comes first: the chicken or the egg. In this case, the chicken is workforce and the egg is childcare. Or vice versa. Also on topic, is transportation: appropriate and available transportation. Everyone has an opinion. Keep reading to give yours in survey form.


And no matter which side has your vote for what the economic future holds, people continue to start, launch, grow and need assistance with small business ventures. If you want to get more involved with small businesses in the Ponca City area, make sure to attend 1 Million Cups next week. And there is always our wonderful manufacturing community collaborating, cooperating and getting ready to seek more contracting in the wilds of Texas at the D2P show. Catch up on what is happening in our world this week.


And stay tuned next week for the spotlight on our Industry of the Year, as well as all the other award recipients given at the Ponca City Chamber Banquet.

IT IS TIME....to collaborate and market Ponca City contract manufacturing again at the March Design 2 Part show in Dallas. This award winning program assists Ponca City contract manufacturers to market their ability to make stuff: metal, plastics, moldings, electrical and more. PCDA sponsors the booth and promotes Ponca City as the manufacturing hub we are, while our companies wheel and deal for new contracts and prototyping. Contact Laurence if your company is interested in participating.
