Rogers County seeks enterprise zone status for Inola

Rogers County Commissioners approved a resolution Wednesday to seek enterprise zone status for the Inola area, potentially offering economic incentives. This action aims to stimulate business growth. The resolution, a joint effort with neighboring counties, requests the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to designate specific census tracts as an enterprise zone. This would open up incentive dollars for development, including low-interest loans and tax credits. The commissioners also deferred a decision on a bid package for the county's maintenance building project until May 12, due to issues with a submitted bid. The project involves refurbishing an old auto repair shop.
