Lawton Council Ends Rose Hill Project Closeout Plan
Lawton Oklahoma City Council approves closing date for the Rose Hill renewal project amid unsold residential parcels and a plan to roll over unspent funds. LURA cites a land disposition deficit, with two parcels sold, and outlines future steps via LCDC and city controls to redevelop the 151.9 acre area. The action preserves potential reuse while shifting funds toward relocation parcels and park developments and notes remaining unspent project costs and grant plans.
