What is County Government?

Pryor Creek Executive Matchmaking Service

Counties are one of America's oldest forms of government, dating back to 1634 when the first county governments were established in Virginia. Ever since, county governments continue to evolve and adapt to changing responsibilities, environments and populations. Today, America's 3,069 county governments invest nearly $500 billion each year in local services and infrastructure and employ more than 3.3 million people. Most importantly, county governments are focused on the fundamental building blocks for healthy, safe, resilient and vibrant communities:

• Maintain public records and coordinate elections
• Support and maintain public infrastructure, transportation and economic development assets
• Provide vital justice, law enforcement and public safety services
• Protect the public's health and well-being, and
• Implement a broad array of federal, state and local programs

No two counties are exactly the same. County governments are diverse in the ways we are structured and how we deliver services to our communities. The basic roles and responsibilities of our county governments are established by the states, including our legal, financial, program and policy authorities. Under 'Dillon' rules, counties can only carry out duties and services specifically authorized by the state. Meanwhile, home rule or charter counties have more flexibility and authority.

In general, county governments are governed by a policy board of elected officials (often called county board, commission or council). Nationally, more than 19,300 individuals serve as elected county board members and elected executives. In addition, most counties also have a series of row officers or constitutional officers that are elected to serve, such as sheriffs, clerks, treasurers, auditors, public defenders, district attorneys and coroners.

MidAmerica Industrial Park ('MAIP') is Oklahoma's largest industrial park. The park is located in Pryor Creek, Oklahoma.^[1] Over 80 firms^[2] are located within the industrial park including operations of seven Fortune 500 companies,^[3] such as Google, DuPont and Nordam.^[4]The park was founded in 1960, when the Federal government sold most of the former Oklahoma Ordnance Works to a public trust, the Oklahoma Ordnance Works Authority.^[5] It covers 9,000 acres (36 km²).^[6]

Recent expansion[edit]

Independently owned, UCGC was founded in 2002 by Dr. Stephen R. Kovacs, D.O., F.A.B.H.P. and Dr. S.Addison Beeson, D.O., F.A.B.E.P. The 4,400-square-foot (410 m²) facility includes a reception area, doctor's office, eight exam / treatment rooms, EMR (Electronic Medical Records), in-house x-ray, orthopedics and lab services. The clinic will treat employees from MidAmerica industries and area businesses that require occupational health services such as: in-depth diagnostic and treatment for most occupational injuries; drug testing; employee physicals; and, sports physicals. Additionally, UCGC offers “walk-in treatment” with no appointment necessary for the general public from throughout Mayes County.

Tulsa Life Flight, a helicopter ambulance service formerly based solely at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, will open a second base of operations at MidAmerica Industrial Park’s airport. Tulsa Life Flight was established in 1979. It was the thirteenth helicopter air ambulance to be established in the US and the first in Oklahoma. To date, Tulsa Life Flight has completed more than 42,200 accident free flights which is a record held only by a few programs in the world. The aircraft are owned and operated by Air Methods Corporation, the largest air ambulance corporation in the world. The firm contracts with Saint Francis Hospital to provide aircraft, pilots and mechanics.

MidAmerica publishes a quarterly newsletter called MidPoint to share 'news, views and other information' about the park and the industries that we serve. A complimentary subscription is available to individuals who are involved in site selection decision making for their respective companies.

The Center of Excellence[edit]

In February of 2020, MAIP opened The Center of Excellence in the refurbished space of the former OSU Institute of Technology Training Center, which closed in December of 2018.^[7] The 25,000-square-foot Center is consortium-based and dedicated to technology, training and career opportunities.^[7]

MidAmerica Industrial Park Airport[edit]

MAIP has its own airfield. The MidAmerica Industrial Park Airport features a 5,000 foot asphalt runway which was refurbished in 2016.^[8]

New leadership[edit]

In November 2012, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin appointed David Stewart as the chief administrative officer of the Oklahoma Ordnance Works Authority (OOWA). He succeeded Sanders Mitchell, who had headed the authority for 35 years before retiring. Stewart was formerly president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC and the wholly owned parent/holding company of the Cherokee Nation, which is charged with the economic development and business diversification across the Cherokee Nation's business entities.^[9] Sanders Mitchell had been hired by OOWA in 1977 to serve as general manager of the industrial park. He was promoted to the position of general manager for OOWA in 1990, following the death of the original chief administrative office, board member and founder of the Mid-America Industrial Park, Gene R. Redden, who served in this capacity from its inception in 1961 until his death in 1990. ^[a][11]

Notes[edit]

1. ^Redden had come to OOWA in 1947 as its first general manager. He, along with the Pryor Chamber of Commerce and other local leaders convinced the Oklahoma state government to buy the Oklahoma Ordnance Works and turn it into an industrial park.^[10]
