Regional Applications Being Accepted for Pilot
CREATE BRIDGES (Celebrating Retail, Accommodations, Tourism and Entertainment by Building Rural Innovations and Developing Growth Economies) is an exciting, new, 2-year program for multi-county regions to develop their retail and hospitality industries.

Oklahoma is fortunate to be one of 3 states to participate in the pilot of this program. The project brings an innovative approach to addressing business and workforce development at no cost to the region, thanks to a Walmart grant to the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service.

Because this is a pilot program, only one region will be selected to participate from Oklahoma. Regions must apply to participate in the program by August 3, 2018 at 5 pm Central Daylight Time. The application is available at http://srdc.msstate.edu/createbridges<https://okstate.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b994ca77092ecd2fec88056bc&id=97a82d9343&e=5e0f67a956>. Click on “State Applications + Data & Resources", then click “Oklahoma State Application".









Application Webinar and Q&A Session Scheduled
Regions interested in applying are invited to participate in a Zoom webinar on Tuesday, July 17 at 2 pm CST as part of the application process.
