Do Business in Jenks

Over the years several milestones have contributed to the continued growth of Jenks beyond the original townsite. The Tulsa water system and a gas-fired electric generating plant by the Public Service Company of Oklahoma came to Jenks in the early 1970's. In the mid-1980's the $167 million dollar Kimberly-Clark manufacturing facility was added to the Jenks tax base and the number and quality of neighborhoods expanded.

In 2000, over 1/2 billion dollars in new and existing industrial construction cost were also added to the Jenks tax base. Kimberly-Clark started their $230 million dollar expansion to their manufacturing facility to include a paper towel division and distribution center. Green Country Energy started construction on a new $340 million dollar, 810-megawatt natural gas fired electric generating facility.
