ARDMORE, OK - A new hotel at Lake Murray is one step closer to becoming a reality.
Oklahoma State Representative Pat Ownbey discussed the progress of a bill that would build a new Lake Murray Lodge Friday at the Chamber of Commerce's Legislative Luncheon.
The house budget committee recently okayed using $15 million in oil and gas money from the park to build it.
The new lodge would go on a small point and allow diners to sit out over the water.
Ownbey said if the house approves the bill without any changes, it will go to Governor Mary Fallin.
