Industrial land purchase to lure Fortune 200 employer (Project Firework)

Lawton's economic development team wants to buy 440 acres from CCIDA to make room for a still-secret Fortune 200 company expected to bring 30-40 jobs and $19.5 million in local investment. The city is being asked to front $2.2 million now, with most of it repaid later through the FISTA's purchase of the site. Missing the October closing window could kill the deal.
