Guide for Growth

There is a plan in place, and guidelines have been created. A public draft of "A Guide for Growth" has been crerated and is available for you here. We are moving forward and moving toward growth.

In 2022, Mid America Industrial Park (MAIP) initiated a robust community-based process to assist the communities in the Four Corners region, located within Mayes County Oklahoma, in envisioning their future and understanding how growth may occur as a result of regional changes and developments within MAIP.

This process involved residents of the municipalities - Adair, Chouteau, Pryor, Langley, Locust Grove, Pryor, and Salina - in discussions to identify issues and concerns that need to be addressed and how to create guidance for accommodating the projected growth and opportunities that will follow the successful development of the industrial park in ways that will contribute to everyone’s quality-of-life and sense of place.

Community discussions and resident input informed each consecutive step and phase of the development of these Growth and Development Guides and the resulting set of recommendations for action items. While there are action items that are applicable County-wide, there are additional items recommended that are specific to the needs of each community.

Through documenting tangible steps that are supported by the community, stakeholders, and leadership that the Four Corners region – the municipalities can utilize these Guides to implement recommendations over the near, mid, and long-term as the state of planning and supporting regulations evolves.

If implemented, the recommendations in these Guides steps will help the Four Corners region in its efforts to retain its unique sense of place and character, guide the accommodation of expected growth, anticipate future needs such as utilities, transportation, environmental resource protection, housing, community services, and educational needs.
