Lawton Fort Sill Regional Growth Management Plan

Responding to BRAC growth issues, the Lawton Fort Sill Regional Growth Management Plan (GMP) was approved in January 2009. The professional, technical and timely assistance provided by the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) coupled with the commitment, dedication and hard work of leaders in the Lawton, Fort Sill area concluded in the development of a comprehensive strategy that addresses challenges and opportunities affecting the area as a result of BRAC 2005.

This comprehensive plan assessed the physical, social and economic infrastructure currently in place to support community growth and development to accommodate the mission change and force structure increases planned for Fort Sill and impacting the surrounding community.

Additionally, the GMP contains a series of coordinated, comprehensive and actionable strategies that lays the foundation and provides the direction for the related effective community growth and development.

Fort Sill and Southwest Oklahoma Community Partnership Council (CPC) Organizational Structure and Leadership

The GMP highlighted the need for a coalition of regional leaders to work collaboratively to addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by the BRAC directed change of mission and growth. Through the vision and initiative of community leaders and the Commanding General of Fort Sill, the Fort Sill and SW Oklahoma Community Partnership Council (CPC) was formally created in January 2009.

CPC is intended to be a permanent organization whose mission is stated as follows:

Fort Sill and its partnered communities engage each other to create, develop, achieve and sustain a high quality of life for their citizens, soldiers and families such that there exists effective and consistent communication, coordination and cooperation between Fort Sill and the entire community.

Today, the CPC has over 400 partners representing local, county, state and tribal governments; business, industry and military leaders; local and state Chambers of Commerce; K-20 education and training leaders; and concerned citizens across the region.

As the CPC has matured, the exchange of information and the involvement of communities and partners to work together on BRAC related issues has remained at the forefront of the organization's purpose and operational principles.
