Good morning, Lawton.

Lawton allocated $55,000 to support the Arts for All Summer Arts Institute, which will host summer art camps in June (the funding aims to boost local art education).

Comanche County officials are hosting a meeting on the community wildfire protection plan to review local fire safety measures.

Residents are encouraged to attend to learn about updated wildfire prevention steps.

City officials urge residents to avoid stray animals after a Lawton resident was bitten by an animal that tested positive for rabies—Animal Welfare is working with state health officials and advises calling the nonemergency line if a stray is seen.

In February, Lawton had fewer commercial permits, but builders secured a bumper crop of permits for new homes + a sign of rising residential construction, a trend that may boost local housing growth.

City officials broke ground on a new youth sports complex today as resident Sunni Breeze watched the first shovelfuls of dirt mark the start of construction at the site.
