Purcell Rumors and News

[macfoucin]

Purcell is a great little town right on I-35 and has a ton of potential. Far too long they have had the small town mentality and have lost out to competitors such as Pauls Valley.

Rumor is that State Farm office across from Walgreens will be sold and bulldozed for a CVS and will relocate.

FWIW Pauls Valley is way worse than Purcell, not sure why anyone would pick them over Purcell.

Good to hear they are getting with the times, I'm actively trying to get my in-laws to move there instead of Pauls Valley to be closer to us so they can see their Granddaughter more. I think you gave me some ammo.

Purcell gas station and hotel options are horrible for it to be right off of I-35.

WOW, if so, I didn't know Purcell was getting big enough for both a Walgreen's and CVS. Stillwater has had both for not very long.

You have to remember a lot of people from the surrounding towns go to Purcell as well. Lexington and Slaughtervile has a Dollar General and a couple gas stations and that is about it.

Holiday Inn at exit 91 will be open Oct 17th. Construction has been very slow but is almost complete. This is Purcell's first modern/decent hotel. Yay

Purcell and ODOT are working together to add an interchange at I-35 and Hwy 74 (Grant St.). This would add southbound I-35 access on the North end of Purcell which has long been discussed. It's not on the ODOT 8 year plan so still a ways out. I wish they could figure out how to utilize the existing exit 95 which is a mile North rather than add a new interchange.

This is great news. I wish they would move the left exits to the right. OkDOT needs more funding and it would be nice to see more funds allocated to them and the gas tax strictly used for road and freeways only along with another gas tax increase.
