Portion carved out of MAPS 3 park in downtown Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma City Council has voted to drop efforts to acquire a two-acre parcel for the MAPS 3 downtown park.

The property at SW 12 Street and Harvey Avenue, in the lower park, belongs to Cusack Meats.

It includes a gravel parking lot and truck turnaround used by the business.

Cusack proposed selling the city the parking lot and truck turnaround and said it would give the city its processing plant across the street.
