NORMAN, Okla. – Each year, the Norman Economic Development Coalition (NEDC) receives thousands of requests for information and statistics about the Norman community. This year NEDC is pleased to offer its 2006 Economic Abstract which will become the centerpiece of NEDC’s printed marketing materials, and will be updated each year to give the latest detailed information.

The Economic Abstract is a 13-page, full-color brochure which contains information on Norman’s population, housing data, quality of life, major tax and financial incentives, labor market information, retail growth data, business assistance, education information, and much more. It can be utilized by local companies to aid in recruitment and marketing efforts, as well as anyone simply looking to learn more about the Norman community.

NEDC Executive Director Don Wood said, “This will serve as a multi-purpose piece replacing our lifestyle brochure and giving us a new tool to assist in marketing and recruiting efforts, retail trade, community development and beyond.”

Please contact the Norman Economic Development Coalition (405) 573-1900, if you are interested in receiving the 2006 Economic Abstract.
