(Enid, OK) City of Enid commissioners approved on Tuesday night a letter of intent for the city of Enid to purchase the downtown Great Plains Bank building for $250,000.

Under the new agreement, the bank will continue to lease the building, located at 401 W. Broadway, for a year until it is able to move into a new facility. The city will also lease a portion of the building to nonprofit youth program Making a Difference, an after-school and summer youth program focused on middle school children.

A draft lease agreement with the program, that also approved Tuesday, will include shared use of the building’s second-floor conference room. United Way of Northwest Oklahoma currently occupies a suite on the floor.

Commissioners also approved an agreement to be executed between the Enid Public Transportation Authority and Oklahoma Department of Transportation for funds no greater than $45,513. The agreement will be extended through Sept. 30, 2022.
