Deserted Bank Being Demolished in Lawton, Oklahoma
Lawton, Oklahoma's Board of County Commissioners sent out letters to businesses near their next project to let everyone know what to expect in the next fews days.
Comanche County Commissioner Johnny Owens has announced that Lawton's crew is set to demolish the old American National Bank building on the corner of sixth and D avenue in Lawton to make room for better changes.
The building sits just across Lawton's Comanche County Courthouse, where heavy traffic flow daily makes it difficult to find enough parking space on occasion. Since the building has been out of use for quite some time, the decision was made to demolish it, level and pave the area, add lighting to it and make it a "safer" parking area for the Comanche County Courthouse patrons.
Those who work near or park near the Comanche County Bank Annex building should plan to begin parking in the East parking lot at Central Plaza when construction starts. Crew members will be on location, fencing off the perimeter on Thursday, Feb. 6 and will begin construction the following day, Friday, Feb. 7.
Those who travel through the area are encouraged to find an alternate route for the safety of the workers, drivers and everyone involved. It's safe to say that for a demolition job of this size, they'll be using heavy machinery to tear down the building and also relocate some of the debri, so it won't be the best area to drive around.
If someone has further questions regarding the demolition process, they're encouraged to reach out directly to District 2 Commissioner Johnny at: jowens@comanchecountyok.gov or office at 580 353-3717.
