There's been a rumor going around town that the City is considering purchasing the old Lawtonian Apartment building next to the Central Plaza in downtown Lawton. Some say it would be used in conjunction with FISTA.

This Saturday, professional drone racers will race in the old Dillard's Building at Central Plaza, 200 SW C Ave., Lawton, Oklahoma.

The Lawton City Council just voted and approved giving the FISTA (FIRES Innovation Science and Technology Accelerator) project an additional 2 million dollars. So what will this money be used for?

The Lawton Sears has been closed at the Central Mall since 2017 and we've all wondered what, if anything would be moving in to take it's place. I know I've had a wish list of stores I'd like to see in that location, I think we all have. It's such a large space we thought the mall would part it out to several different stores if they couldn't find one big one. Well it looks like that space has finally be leased.
