EDA report: Industrial Park site plan advances; downtown openings and sidewalk grant progress noted
Summary
Medford Economic Development Director reported progress on an Industrial Park site plan with Myers Engineering, delayed OG&E streetlight work due to storms, construction in the Industrial Park, ODOT sidewalk grant progress and downtown business openings and potential projects.
At the March 10 Economic Development Authority meeting the Economic Development Director reported that Myers Engineering is moving forward with an Industrial Park site plan and that staff will work with NODA to update zoning maps to include the Nichols‑Pitts property. The director said OG&E's site visit for a streetlight improvement plan was delayed by recent ice and wind storms and that Dig Rites is building a new shop in the Industrial Park along HW 81.
The director reported the ODOT sidewalk grant is moving toward 60% plans, mentioned interest from chiropractor Stanley Diehl contingent on a building sale in Waynoka, and highlighted expected downtown openings including a new gym and laundromat and a potential Pickleball facility. The minutes record these development notes but do not attach specific timelines, grant award amounts, or firm commitments for the Hotel Franklin restoration.
