Most of the halls here in OKC have been built in the last few years. The Metropolitan Cong Hall was built last year and the Midwest City hall was built just a few months back. I've never been associated with the congs here, so I don't know if they are growing or not. The KH that was being used by the Metropolitan COngregation was in a very bad neighborhood that had declined dramatically during the last few years.. I'm sure that is why they moved it. THe building was also very old.
Do you see or hear of any new Kingdom Hall constructions?

No - not a lot going on now days. With zero percent increase and falling meeting attendances there is no need.
It must be a bitter taste in the mouth of an organisation that boasted increase whilst other churches were empty. It is certainly not true now.

when I first moved to Indiana I found that my apartment was just down the road from a kingdom hall. This hall seems to be fairly busy and looks like it has at least 2 congregations there. But the funny part is that the town I moved to has had a population explusion with the pop. growing from about 9,000 in the early 80's to about 54,000 now, but there is only one little kingdom hall. Tons of huge churches are being built here but only one tiny kingdom hall that looks like it seats no more that 250 people.
