Oklahoma Sets Sights on Aerospace Future at 2025 AERO Town Hall in Edmond

Oklahoma's skyward ambitions were on full display during the 2025 AERO Oklahoma Aerospace Town Hall, where Rep. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, played host to a throng of industry specialists, business heads, and policymakers, all converging in the House chamber to discuss aerospace's burgeoning future in the region. The event, as reported by The Oklahoma House, saw over 1,200 visitors from across state lines and beyond gravitate towards these talks, churning the gears of potential growth and opportunity in aerospace, aviation, and defense sectors on April 2.

Miller's role goes beyond moderation; she chairs the House Appropriations & Budget Subcommittee on Transportation and has a hand in directing state funds to critical aerospace entities like the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace & Aeronautics and the Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority. The town hall's discussions danced over a variety of key notes from the industry's push into space commercialization to Oklahoma's readiness for vertical takeoff and landing technology, even addressing the state’s significant 125% rise in aerospace exports over the last decade.
