City voted into Metro Planning Organization
Persistence as well as growth paid off for the city of El Reno after City Manager Matt Sandidge announced the community has been voted into the Metro Planning Organization.
Sandidge broke the news to the city council at Tuesday night’s regular monthly meeting.
Sandidge said the inclusion in the 44-member city planning district opens El Reno up to be eligible to apply for federal transportation grants to the tune of more than $27 million per year. He said El Reno could benefit from grants that could help improve traffic signaling and safety.
