Amplifying the Future of Broken Arrow

Invest in Amplify

Amplify BA is a 5-year strategic capital investment campaign that will provide the foundation to expand multi-year economic development incentives to create jobs, attract new businesses, retain and expand existing business, develop our future workforce, foster entrepreneurship, and support a growing, thriving, innovative future for our city.

Such an aggressive plan requires broad community support to achieve our funding goal. We will be successful if businesses and stakeholders that have an interest in the prosperity of Broken Arrow engage in this strategy and exercise financial leadership by investing in it.

Why Amplify BA Matters

As the nation and our local economy recover from the global pandemic, a new landscape for community vibrancy and economic growth is emerging. These shifting dynamics create a unique opportunity for Broken Arrow to amplify its trajectory for growth in the years ahead. By leveraging our assets and proactively addressing challenges, we can set the stage for our independence, drive, and innovative spirit to shape a strong and thriving future for Broken Arrow.

Talent Shortage

The nationwide labor shortage is especially acute in Broken Arrow due to recent growth and expansion across the community. Competition among companies and communities has increased, while the availability of skilled labor has declined. In partnership with strategic allies, Amplify BA will develop a comprehensive strategy to address these challenges and position Broken Arrow as a primary destination for talent.

Workforce Skills Gap

Our community needs a plan for broad-based workforce solutions that build on existing programs, such as the Workforce Center of Excellence through the State of Oklahoma, to address today’s skill gaps and prepare for tomorrow’s workforce needs. Through Amplify BA’s success, we can better align workforce development with the needs of existing companies and those we seek to attract.

Comprehensive Economic Development

The BAEDC has had limited funding to support both business retention and expansion as well as a robust business attraction program. To compete nationally with other communities, Amplify BA will help draw increased private sector investment, enabling BAEDC to more effectively deliver long-term economic growth for Broken Arrow.

Lack of Commercial and Industrial Offerings

Broken Arrow currently faces a shortage of commercial and industrial inventory. In 2019 and 2020, BAEDC was unable to respond to more than 50% of projects circulated by utilities and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce due to a lack of shovel-ready sites. Over the past two years, only 30% of direct inquiries matched available commercial buildings or developed land.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Small business is vital to the Broken Arrow economy, with startups and entrepreneurs playing a key role in the community’s character. BAEDC needs increased funding to continue building and supporting this ecosystem, which is essential to Broken Arrow’s future growth.

Initiatives

The goals of Amplify BA are ambitious and will positively impact our community well beyond the five-year strategic plan. The initiatives are focused on creating widely shared opportunities, job creation, talent development and recruitment, entrepreneurship, and inclusive growth.
