Economy
Kidlington's economy is made up up primarily of light industrial and commercial business. Thames Valley Police headquarters is also based in the village. Significant to the village's development is the existence of London Oxford Airport. Opposite the airport is the Langford Locks industrial development and Oxford Motor Park home to showrooms for brands such as: Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Businesses such as Guylian Chocolates, Eurocopter and Moss Plastics all have a presence in the village. Privately run prison Campsfield House is controversially situated in the industrial area.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It enhances our sense of the grand security and serenity of nature to observe the still undisturbed economy and content of the fishes of this century, their happiness a regular fruit of the summer.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical terms.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
