Grove EDA votes 3-0 to move forward with Oklahoma Dreams Flower Farm lease proposal

Vice-Chairman Mike Lewandowski presided over the Grove Economic Development Authority's Oct. 20 regular meeting, where trustees voted unanimously to move forward with a lease proposal for property in the Industrial Park described as the Oklahoma Dreams Flower Farm.

Trustee Ivan Devitt moved to approve proceeding with the proposal; Trustee Andy Stewart seconded the motion. The vote was 3-0 in favor, with Devitt, Stewart and Lewandowski voting aye and no nays recorded.

Lewandowski opened the floor to discuss the proposal by Brandon Reynolds to lease the Industrial Park site. The minutes record the board's action to "approve moving forward with the Oklahoma Dreams Flower Farm," but do not list lease terms, a property address, or other contract specifics; those details were not specified at the meeting.

Building Inspector Todd Franke, reporting on city projects, said capital work is on schedule: both the Fire Station and the Police Station projects are "on track," and he noted that walls at the Event Center are scheduled to be lifted the following morning at 7:00 AM, weather permitting. The board did not take further formal action on the construction updates.

The EDA recorded routine approvals earlier in the meeting, including a motion to approve the Sept. 15, 2025 minutes and a motion to approve the Purchase Order Register, both passing 3-0. The meeting adjourned at 4:36 PM.

The minutes do not specify next steps or deadlines for finalizing the lease; the board's approval authorized staff to proceed with the proposed arrangement rather than completing a finalized lease at that meeting.
