Lawton

This Saturday is the 250th anniversary of the United States Army being established. Several army bases throughout the country have big events planned, but sadly the one for Lawton will be no longer happening.

Looks like a city council meeting last night has them considering a ban on a specific dog breed within city limits.

The news broke late yesterday evening, or at least that's when I first heard about it. The City of Lawton is considering purchasing the Central Mall for the FISTA (FIRES Innovation Science and Technology Accelerator) program. The Lawton City Council will be meeting today (10-16-20) at 2:00pm CST in a special session to discuss the possible purchase of the mall. So what's the price tag? 14.6 MILLION!

Yesterday afternoon (10-13-20) the Lawton City Council voted to keep the mandatory mask ordinance in effect until mid January of 2021. That will be the earliest or next time the members will review the ordinance to amend or remove it.
