Oklahoma City is experiencing significant growth opportunities primarily in the aviation and aerospace sectors, largely due to the presence of Tinker Air Force Base, which supports a substantial local workforce and stimulates related economic activities. The city's leadership learned from historical economic challenges tied to an over-dependence on the oil and gas industry, prompting a strategic shift towards diversification.
