The smell from the Producers Cooperative Oil Mill reminds me of the Stockyards; the odor was similar to when they burned the hides. Now the bulk of those operations have been moved to the expanded El Reno Stockyards.

It took years to move a division of the city's old waste sanitation plant (Eastside, I-40 Fort Smith Junction) to Jones, OK.



It will be expensive to move the mill.

The Producers Cooperative Oil Mill completed a $3 million expansion (Canola, Sunflowerseed) in October 2008.

Both Steve and Pete have stated that the property will not sell for the asking price or anywhere near it. Either the owners will have to come down on the asking price or the city will have to take it as imminent domain and I don't see the latter happening anytime soon since there is no reason for it to be taken. Now, if only a large building built for the city could go in that area.... Hmmmmm...
