If Canadian Valley Technology Center builds a Public Safety Training Center, the idea originated at an El Reno Now breakfast.
That’s what CV Tech Superintendent Dr. Gayla Lutts said at last week’s gathering of El Reno Now. Lutts and Jena Marr, interim president at Redlands Community College, provided updates on what’s happening at their respective schools.
El Reno Now is a quarterly event hosted by Mayor Steve Jensen and El Reno School Superintendent Matt Goucher.
City Manager Matt Sandidge drew laughter when he told last week’s El Reno Now audience that all was right with El Reno now that “Sonic has opened.”
Sandidge said the new restaurant on Sunset Drive was a welcome addition. The store had to be torn down and rebuilt after a motorist ran through the drive-in.
Sandidge also pointed to the major changes at Country Club Square Shopping Center.
“Who can remember what that shopping center looked like 10 years ago,” he asked. “It was a vacant Walmart and not much else.”
