Workforce & Industrial Development

Nestled in Okmulgee County just south of Tulsa, Winchester, Oklahoma is a small but steadily growing town—its population rose to 546 by the 2020 census, up nearly 6% from 2010. Though primarily residential, Winchester benefits from proximity to U.S. Route 75 and nearby Beggs, offering access to regional transportation and services. Local governance emphasizes maintaining its character while exploring opportunities for measured economic growth. The Winchester Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), a nonprofit established to support business retention and attract new ventures, plays a central role in these efforts. Meanwhile, state-level workforce and business support programs—such as Oklahoma Works and the Department of Rehabilitation Services’ Business Services Program—offer no-cost recruitment, training, and hiring incentives to employers. For companies considering expansion or relocation, Oklahoma’s suite of incentive programs—including the Quality Jobs Program, Training for Industry Program, and Investment/New Jobs Tax Credits—provide competitive financial and workforce development support. Winchester’s strategic location, combined with these local and state resources, positions the town as a quietly promising option for businesses seeking access to Tulsa’s metro area without the congestion of larger cities.
