We are in negotiations with an engineering design firm to begin working on plans for the Elwood widening project. This has been a long time coming and will greatly help traffic flow in Glenpool.
Disc Golf Course
We are currently building a disc golf course at Morris Park for all of our residents to enjoy. Additionally, we are expecting it to bring visitors from all over to take advantage of playing at this top of the line course.
Dawes Property
The city recently purchased the Dawes property. This property is just south of land the city already owns and looking to develop. We are excited about all of the possibilities that we can do with this property to enhance the lives of our citizens. City staff is still examining different possibilities and will make recommendations to the council soon for the best way to use this land.
Fiscal Responsibility
We continue to be fiscally responsible to our citizens and put forth a budget each year that allows us to grow while also living within our means as a city. We also continue to see clean reports on our annual accounting audits each year.
