At Tuesday evening’s meeting of the Clinton City Council, officials approved the purchase of a piece of land colloquially referred to as “The Triangle,” which sits across from McLain Rogers Park. The Triangle will house a monument which will be provided to the City by the Route 66 Centennial Commission.

Part of Neptune Drive will be closed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 27 through July 30, according to District 5 Resident Engineer and Manager Dax Sawyer for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
