What Is Happening This Week at PCDA


Ponca City was on a top 10 list; one of the good ones from an economic standpoint. PCDA Board of Trustees met this week and were updated by staff on water detention projects, upcoming maintenance to the PCDA Hangar (now leased by NextGen), Spec Building Duke and the PCDA budget for 2023-2024 was approved. Trustees also elected a new slate of officers for the next fiscal year. It was quite a packed meeting.


For the month of May, PCDA staff stalked, we mean talked, with 32 new companies and 147 existing companies. City Central had 124 contacts and there were chats with 97 regional partners. These numbers are staff's bread and butter and are where new business to Ponca City come from (Welcome Trailer-Butler) as well as leading to company collaborations. Don't just take our word for it. Keep reading and find out more.

 

Ponca City in Top 10 for Lowest Cost of Living

The PCDA Board of Trustees heard some good news about the Ponca City economy this week and now, so can you. Ponca City has ranked in the Top 10 Least Expensive Urban Areas. The Cost of Living Index (COLI) is published quarterly by C2ER – The Council for Community and Economic Research. 100% is the national average. Ponca City is currently at 82.9%. Which means a $1 spent in Ponca City stretches 17 cents farther. To compare costs with any of the other 260 communities participating, visit the Cost of Living Calculator at goponca.com.
