The City of Tulsa-Rogers County Port Authority and the Avard (Oklahoma) Regional Rail Park Authority signed a Partnership Agreement on Thursday, August 25th at 1 p.m. at the Oklahoma Maritime Education Center facility adjacent to the Port Authority's Marcus R. Tower Administrative Office Building (located near the center of the Port of Catoosa industrial complex).

The agreement came just weeks after a similar partnership was established with a logistics park in Kansas.

The document states that both entities "believe it is in their best and mutual interest for the establishment of a working alliance which will enhance cooperation and foster the generation of new business for their mutual benefit through the promotion and further development of trade connections and transportation links between the Port of Catoosa and the Avard Regional Rail Park Authority."

The agreement includes joint marketing programs, data exchange, sharing market studies, and other activities designed to enhance transportation opportunities for both entities.

Ed Fariss, Chairman of the City of Tulsa-Rogers County Port Authority, said the new arrangement is beneficial for both Western and Eastern Oklahoma, helping to make logistics easier and lowering shipping costs for products travelling throughout the state.

"This is the next step in continuing to build a network of alliances to strengthen transportation ties throughout the region," said Fariss. "It is good for our regional manufacturers, and ultimately good for the economy of the State of Oklahoma."

A delegation from Woods County, Oklahoma began the day's activities by touring the Port.
