County commissioners reported on progress connecting utilities for a senior citizens residence during the Jan. 5 meeting.

Speaker 1 told the board he had spoken with Alex Vance about OG&E and the senior citizens project, saying the project's check cleared Dec. 30 and that the county's engineer is working to tie in gas and secure the meter. Speaker 2 said crews are onsite working on the gas connection. Speaker 1 said the project appears to be moving in the right direction and that the residence should soon be ready to accept occupants.

No timeline for occupancy was given in the transcript; commissioners thanked Alex Vance for assistance and noted remaining installation work was in progress.
