Ozarks Regional Economic Partnership Launches New Website to Support Regional Growth

• May 14, 2026

The Ozarks Regional Economic Partnership (OREP) is introducing a new, streamlined website that reflects a fresh approach to economic development in southwest Missouri. Bringing together 10 counties under one unified vision, OREP is focused on working collaboratively to attract new investment and support business expansion across the region.

Designed with site selectors and businesses in mind, OREP offers guidance throughout every stage of the expansion journey, from early site selection to cutting the ribbon. Their team works alongside companies to simplify what can often be a complex process, helping navigate incentives, permitting, workforce solutions, and available regional resources.

One of OREP’s biggest advantages is their ability to serve as a single point of contact for the entire region. Rather than coordinating with multiple counties individually, businesses can connect with one experienced team that understands the full landscape and can quickly identify the best-fit opportunities.

The new website makes it easy to explore available sites and properties, learn more about key industries, and access workforce and demographic insights. Visitors can also meet the team behind OREP and connect directly to start a conversation.To explore the new site and learn more, visit ozarkspartnership.org.
