Oklahoma City has grown into the nation’s 20th largest city, but as a region, central Oklahoma is positioned at 41st.

Closing that gap requires collaboration across communities and counties, and the State of the Region event is where leaders take on that challenge, looking past city limits to build a stronger, more connected economy.
