City of Lawton Working to Improve the Stinky Smell West of Town

I hate to say it but Lawton, OK. stinks, specifically the west side of town. What is that horrible odor and what's causing it? Also, is there anything that can be done about it? We all want answers about the smell.

The smell is being caused by the paper mill/plant Republic Paperboard LLC. located on the west side of Lawton in the industrial park. The process of making paper products is stinky but it should improve soon.

The City of Lawton along with Republic Paperboard plan to rid the west side of its offensive odor in the near future. There's a $15 million dollar improvement project that will upgrade the mill/plant and end the stink.
