Because it's a smart idea. The Tulsa Port of Catoosa is located in the heart of Oklahoma’s Green Country just five miles northeast of one of the nation’s most livable cities – Tulsa, Oklahoma. The beautiful skyline with its art deco touches reflects the influence of yesteryear’s oil barons and cattlemen, while pushing ahead with high-tech industries and forward-thinking growth strategies.

How's business? Tulsa ranked in the top one-third of all MSAs, states and countries worldwide in total gross product in 2001, with a gross production of goods and services of $29.24 billion—and future forecasts are over a half a billion dollars in growth over the next few years. All this with a cost of doing business that ranks 20 percent BELOW the national average.

The quality of life enjoyed by its citizens, along with its natural beauty and business-conducive environment, recently enabled Tulsa to be ranked among the 15 most livable cities in the nation. This city of 769,000 citizens has also played host to national events such as the 1995 and 1996 Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour of Champions.

The low cost of utilities, abundance of suppliers and commercial space have contributed to a population that is growing faster than the state and national average. The low cost of living along with an increasingly educated population add to the attractiveness of Tulsa to the business community.

Tulsa enjoys temperate weather year-round. The Arkansas River runs through most of the city and some of the largest lakes in the nation are within driving distance. The well-managed parks and beautiful countryside along with an exceptional climate greatly contribute to the quality of life that Tulsans enjoy.
