A sign of the growing attractiveness of Claremore and the Rogers County

center in the Claremore Business Park.
Slated for opening by next summer, the proposed 50,000 sq. ft. facility will be
designed to initially house 50 workers and grow to 150 employees over the next 5 years.
The company anticipates the eventual expansion of the facility to grow to 100,000 sq. ft.
