"We're only about three blocks from University of Central Oklahoma. It's a nice place to have your offices. The price per square-foot is very reasonable from that point of view, and then you have support of economic development authority. All the things add up, so a little company like ours isn't lost in the list of thousands of companies you have in a major city."
