the business owners, the building owners and the dedicated program supporters because they all uniquely contribute to making these historic commercial districts thrive for the betterment of their local areas. Economic development at the local level is spurred
by these hard-working people. We want to say thank you for their efforts -- not just in their communities but for all of Oklahoma. This is our way to demonstrate our appreciation on a statewide level.”
