Innovation District Study

In June of 2018, Midwest City published a study establishing an Innovation district. The Innovation district lies just West of the Original Mile, falling between Rose State College and the Hospitality District. The framework of this Innovation District calls for an area of mixed use that responds to 21st century needs, including providing for multiple means of communication between Rose State College and the Hospitality District.  The market study found a need for quality multi-family developments and curated retail and further detailed potential partnerships with selective and lively retail options such as a coffee shop or brew pub. The study cites a three year phased plan for implementation.

The Vision of the Innovation District is as follows:

“The Midwest City Innovation District will embrace the bold, entrepreneurial and visionary legacy of America’s City of Tomorrow.

It will serve as an economic engine, promoting job growth through partnership and innovation. Anchored by an open and engaged Convergence Center, the District will be a place for living and learning. This new community of collaboration will bring together friends and families, students and teachers, innovators and creators.

The Midwest City Innovation District will enlighten a whole new generation of Oklahomans with a drive to discover and a desire to push their imagination and creativity.”
