Smart, Sustainable Progress… For All.

That’s not just a catchy slogan or trendy hashtag. For Ardmore Development Authority, it’s our vision for economic growth, which drives us as we advance together towards a thoughtfully innovative future.

In this gem of Oklahoma, centrally located between Oklahoma City and Dallas/Fort Worth, you’ll find a logistics hub that connects businesses via air, rail, and vital east-west and north-south highway corridors. In three days or less, you can reach any city in the nation via I-35 with connections to major east-west interstates like I-40, I-20, I-10, and I-80, giving your business the edge in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics supply chains.

Named “Best Places to Start a Business in Oklahoma” by NerdWallet (2024), we also own industrial parks and offer some of the fastest permitting times in the state. The Ardmore Industrial Airpark and Westport Industrial Park are located within Foreign Trade Zone #227, a short one-hour drive from Oklahoma City and Dallas/Fort Worth. But we’re also just as supportive of small businesses, start-ups, and the revitalization of Ardmore’s historic downtown as a vibrant economic and cultural hub.

In Ardmore, you’ll find the best of both worlds. The small town charm of a welcoming atmosphere, vibrant arts scene, walkable neighborhoods, incredible outdoor recreational opportunities, peaceful surroundings, and no traffic or congestion. But you can also experience the neon glow of Dallas/Fort Worth and Oklahoma City in under 90 minutes.

That’s the Ardmore Advantage!
