As the winter chill wraps its frosty fingers around Lawton, city officials have made a bold move by closing all city offices this Monday, January 26. The decision comes in response to expected freezing conditions and ongoing winter weather, ensuring the safety of residents amid slippery sidewalks and icy roads.
Residents will find themselves without access to the Lawton Public Library, the Lawton Landfill, and all city recreation centers, making for a quiet Monday morning—perfect for catching up on that reading list or indulging in some much-needed relaxation. But that’s not all: trash pickup service also takes a day off due to the cold, which means Area 1 can expect collection on Tuesday, January 27, and Area 2 on Wednesday, January 28.
City officials remain vigilant, keeping an eye on the weather forecast and promising to provide updates as needed. So, with the city hunkering down, it might be wise to fill up that cocoa mug and snuggle in—because what’s winter without a bit of warm coziness? Stay safe out there, Lawton!
