Open House Report: EOCP Cuts the Ribbon on a New Era in Eastern Oklahoma County

OKLAHOMA CITY - Sept. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- Five years ago, the five communities east of the Oklahoma City metro formed a unique partnership for the development of the region. On August 25, Eastern Oklahoma County Partnership celebrated its fifth anniversary and officially launched its new location and new plans for the next five years.

The open house, sponsored by TDS Telecom, was hosted at EOCP's new location at 17311 NE 23rd Street in Choctaw, OK. Approximately 70 business and community leaders attended, including new EOCP chairman and Jones Mayor Ray Poland. Choctaw and Harrah Chambers of Commerce conducted the official ribbon cutting.

EOCP executive director Tim Hight spoke about important benchmarks for EOCP in the first five years. He said he's specifically grateful to EOC Technology center which provided EOCP office space for the first five years. The new office, made possible through strong support of corporate and community partners, is a part of the aggressive EOC Excellence 2021 campaign to advance the regional economy.

Hight said, "We look forward to continuing to serve our communities and corporate partners. For people looking to grow their families and their economic outlook, there's no better place than eastern Oklahoma County."

EOCP's new location is open weekdays during regular business hours. EOCP plans to launch a new website within two weeks. For immediate inquiries or to learn more about business expansion, call Tim Hight at 405-390-GROW (405-390-4769).
