Beyond education and healthcare, McAlester is focused on creating a safe, convenient environment for all its residents. It is currently in the process of designing what will surely become a gargantuan source of stimulation for the local economy. “The biggest development we’re getting out here is the airport terminal, which should be done somewhere between November and December… that also brought us into partnership with the Choctaw Nation,” says Mayor Browne. The partnership is focused on a drone testing program held at Daisy Ranch where autonomous medical kit delivery capabilities are being tested and refined on existing drone technology. According to Mayor Browne, this is a technology that will start to emerge soon and McAlester is getting in front of the trend before it starts.This would allow it to attract larger manufacturers, like Lockheed Martin, to the area. 101 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 10 MCALESTER, OK
