  • Lamar, located in Hughes County in southeastern Oklahoma, is quietly positioning itself as an attractive destination for industrial and manufacturing investments. Its strategic location near U.S. Highway 75 and State Highway 9 provides direct access to regional transportation corridors, making it easier for companies to move goods throughout the state and beyond.

The Oklahoma Department of Commerce and local economic development agencies are working to promote shovel-ready sites and streamline permitting processes for new builds or expansions. While vacancy rates remain moderate, interest in logistics, light manufacturing, and

    agricultural processing continues to grow, driven by Oklahoma’s pro-business climate.

    Lamar and Hughes County also leverage statewide workforce development programs, such as those offered through the Oklahoma CareerTech system and the Oklahoma Works initiative. These programs provide customized training and upskilling for employees, helping local industries stay competitive. Incentives at both the state and county...
