A Route 66 makeover
With an eye toward making Route 66 more attractive for both locals and visitors, the city of El Reno has purchased a former gas station at the corner of Sunset and Choctaw and is seeking grants to help with major improvements in the area.
City Manager Matt Sandidge said the city has a contract in hand to purchase the property at 120 S. Choctaw. Closing is expected to take place Feb. 29.
Mayor Steve Jensen said the city will spend approximately $150,000 to gain control of the corner property.
