JOPLIN, Mo. — Southwest Missouri is growing – or at least that's the case for part of the region. 'We lived in Dallas for about eight years,' said Ryan Oliphant, Newton Co. Resident. But when Ryan Oliphant's career went remote, his family started looking for a change from what he calls cookie-cutter houses with small yards. 'Just really wanted to find a place where there was a good sense of community. Lots of good people with good values and where we can raise our kids in a wholesome environment that they could enjoy,' said Oliphant.
