Much like the Clinton City Council meeting held this week, the Clinton Hospital Authority meeting Wednesday held some significant items of interest to talk about after contracts were approved.
While the contract between the City of Clinton and Rural Hospital Solutions was the “big ticket” item of Tuesday’s Clinton City Council meeting, there were other items of note as well.
The Arapaho Public Works Authority in Custer County received approval for a $99,995 Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) grant Tuesday through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to improve the authority’s wastewater infrastructure.
An Arapaho woman died as the result of a single-vehicle crash Tuesday morning on State Highway 47 and N. 2310 Rd., 7 miles west of Thomas.
