City reports 14 permits and successful Easter event amid positive airport inspection

During the recent Regular Business Meeting held on May 5, 2025, the City of Wagoner highlighted several key developments that reflect ongoing community engagement and improvements in local services.

One of the standout topics was the progress in housing initiatives, with the announcement of 14 permits issued and 84 inspections conducted in April. This activity is a positive sign for the community, indicating a commitment to maintaining and enhancing local housing standards. Notably, all ten Habitat for Humanity homes are nearing completion, which promises to provide much-needed affordable housing options for residents.

The meeting also celebrated community events, particularly the successful Easter egg hunt at the local museum, which attracted over 50 guests and featured more than 400 hidden eggs. This event not only brought families together but also showcased the museum's role as a community hub.

In terms of infrastructure, the Wagoner Airport received commendations following a recent inspection by the Corps of Engineers. Officials reported that it was one of the best inspections ever, with no follow-up required, suggesting that the airport is operating efficiently and safely. Additionally, a new board has taken over management at the airport, signaling a fresh and positive direction for future operations.

These discussions reflect the city's ongoing efforts to enhance community services and infrastructure, ensuring that Wagoner remains a vibrant place for its residents. As these projects and initiatives move forward, they are expected to have a lasting impact on the quality of life in the area.
