A new study is highlighting Bricktown's pivotal role as a vibrant "live, work, and play" district. This study, conducted by The Thorberg Collectorate and led by Chief Economist Russell Evans, reveals Bricktown's staggering $1.4 billion impact. Oklahoma City's Bricktown Association, in collaboration with the City of Oklahoma City, commissioned the impact report.

"Bricktown is situated on the brink of significant investments happening within and adjacent to the district," said Bricktown District Manager Justin O'Neal. "Through this study, we aimed to demonstrate Bricktown’s contribution to the success of Oklahoma City as we prepare for the future."

Bricktown, the focus of the original MAPS investment program, has emerged as a residential hub, commercial center and recreational destination. The district boasts an impressive selection of hotels, restaurants and entertainment options. Annually, almost 1.8 million Bricktown visitors spend more than $175 million in the local economy.
