Apache Corp., based in Houston, could receive up to $6.6 million to create 100 new oil and natural gas jobs in Tulsa; Cozart-Perry Industries Inc., based in Lawton, could receive $2 million for 170 new manufacturing jobs; and Unami LLC in Anadarko has qualified for $632,000 for 70 new manufacturing jobs through the Small Employer division of the program.
The cash will be distributed in quarterly payments up to 5 percent of the companies’ new payroll over the next 10 years, totaling up to $9.3 million for all three companies combined.
That’s a lot of money and a lot of jobs. And a lot of money.
