There’s Plenty of Activity In Norman Business Park

By: The Norman Transcript

The concrete trucks are beating a path to the Norman Business Park along SH 9 on Norman’s southeast side.

Albon Engineering and Manufacturing has begun construction of its plant. When it opens next year, the British concern will be one of the larger tenants in the park owned by the Norman Economic Development Coalition.

Office Max, formerly Boise Cascade, recently began work on a 10,400 square foot addition. The company employs 230 and plans to add another 140 to 160 sales representatives.

Immuno Mycologics Inc., a medical testing company, also has started construction in the business park.

All told, the three projects will add bout 350 jobs to the Norman economy. The park is about half occupied and ready for other tenants.

The NEDC was formed out of a need for industrial recruitment and to be able to offer developed sites, ready for building, for companies ready relocate or expand here. Some members of the NEDC partnership now are wanting the organization to promote retail recruitment throughout in order to boost the city’s sales tax returns. There’s no reason to believe the NEDC won’t be successful in that arena, too.
