MidAmerica Industrial Park, which is Oklahoma's largest industrial park, the third largest industrial park in the United States, and the eighth largest industrial park in the world, is located in Pryor, Oklahoma.  

In this episode of Voices of Oklahoma, as we share the story of the park, we want you to know the man responsible for its very existence: Gene R. Redden.

A bronze plaque outside the entrance to the MidAmerica Industrial Park administrative office reads: “GENE R. REDDEN, Founder of the MidAmerica Industrial Park”He was honored by a joint resolution from the Oklahoma Senate and House of Representatives stating: “His courage and enthusiasm knew no limits. This facility is dedicated to his honor.”

Gene was 70 years old when he died June 7, 1990.

We thank his son, Roger Redden, for being our storyteller on the podcast and website, Voices of Oklahoma.
