Pipeline crossroads of the world
Cushing is the North American delivery point for West Texas Intermediate, with room for the manufacturers, service firms, and operators who want a central site, and for the housing those jobs need.
Why Cushing
The Economic Development Foundation is the front door for employers and for residential developers who want land, a local incentive conversation, or help with permits. Cushing Municipal Authority provides electric, water, and sewer. The City has published permitting times of about four weeks after a complete submittal.
US-33 runs east-west. It is two lanes from Cushing to Perkins, and two lanes with truck passing lanes from Drumright to I-44. A current project is expanding it to four lanes from Perkins to I-35. SH-18 runs north-south. I-35, I-44, and I-40 are the regional connections.
Cushing Municipal Authority serves a 12.5 kV dual-feed system. The City says rates typically run below the national average.
The City counts 187,095 people across Payne, Lincoln, and Creek counties, with Oklahoma State University and two technology centers nearby.
Projects inside the city limits are reviewed by Cushing. The published expectation is about four weeks once plans are in.
“We needed a city that could talk utilities, land, and workforce in the same meeting.”

Land and infrastructure lead the conversation, using the City’s own published utility notes until a live inventory is ready.
Properties
Industrial, commercial, and residential cards in this phase are labeled samples. Phase 2 can put this list in a simple editor so staff can add, edit, and remove properties without a developer.
Infrastructure
Water capacity is published at 3 million gallons a day, with about 2 million gallons a day described as surplus. Sewer capacity is published at 1.6 million gallons a day.
The City names energy, health care, and manufacturing as the major area industries. A full industry section is planned for phase 2.
Life here
Schools, health care, and day-to-day life are the phase 2 companion. Housing development — lots and builder projects — is already with the other properties. The story is a small city with Stillwater, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City in reach.
Airport
CUH is a public airport with a 5,201-by-100-foot concrete runway, fuel, a terminal, and AWOS. A full airport page is in phase 2.
