Article Forcasts Relief for Oklahoma: "Economist: Oklahoma should weather national economic storm better than most states"

An OSU enconomist recently made a statement indicating that Oklahoma will not be as hurt economically as the rest of the nation. If he is correct, this is great news for the Tulsa business market.

The article from OKCBusiness.com can be read here at http://www.okcbusiness.com/industry_article.asp?cID=5&aID=66392722.2657582.597896.44911202.6712196.189&aID2=45983

Taking Business Risks in Recession May Be Profitable in Downtown Tulsa

One newscaster or analyst said the economy's recession was a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more the media advertised the banks' demise, the more people frantically withdrew their money from the banks, leaving banks even more vulnerable. It seems as though in other areas this principle could apply.

Although moving your business to a new location or even opening a new business may be very risky at the moment, it could keep your financial wheels moving while other businesses are scared and stationery.

Downtown Tulsa is in a period of dramatic rebirth. Those who take advantage of this small window of opportunity to join this revived Central Business District will undoubtedly experience an economic boost as more business filters in to downtown Tulsa.

The Boston Building and Philtower Building offices and commercial property are a prime example of the reinvigorated business spaces comprising the downtown area. These older buildings emanate a feeling of stability and professionalism with their historical elegance. In an era where image is everything, these office buildings portray the upscale living of a bygone time while being refurnished enough to have a modern urban style.
