This location is 65 miles from Tulsa on I-44. The closest small town is Vinita with a population of 5500 or so. Joplin is 50 or so miles. Since most people drive 80 on the Turnpike it is certainly within an hour of an airport. Expecting to employ 4000 people this is quite an economic boon to NE Oklahoma. I just told
my daughter to buy property in this area. I don't know if it will succeed but there is a lot of property in the 8-10 thousand dollar per acre range. I am sitting in Joplin right now visiting my mother in law and on my way back to norman I plan to scout the area. Route 66 and I44 are both within a few miles of the proposed sight. An instant boom town is being created.
