Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has taken legal action to halt construction of a proposed aluminum smelter near Inola.

On Tuesday, June 2, Drummond filed a petition in Rogers County District Court to block the project, which is backed by two private ventures, including a state-owned enterprise of the United Arab Emirates.

According to Drummond, Emirates Global Aluminum holds a 60% controlling interest in the project.

“The controlling hand behind the largest smelter ever proposed on American soil belongs not to Oklahomans, nor even to Americans, but to a foreign sovereign more than 7,000 miles away,” the petition states.

According to Drummond, the project – known as Oklahoma Primary Aluminum – would be the largest primary aluminum production plant ever constructed in the United States.

When severe weather strikes and does damage to your home and property, it's important to make sure you're working with licensed and insured trusted professionals, like Auto Hail Damage Repair.

Just wanted to make an announcement that Auto Hail Damage Repair is the only locally owned PDR company based in Claremore. I was born and raised here and have proudly called Claremore home for 42 years. Our company has served the Claremore area for the past 12 years, including the last 6 years in our current shop location.

As a local business, we take great pride in serving our community, supporting local families, and keeping business and revenue within our town.

We also want customers to be aware that many out-of-town PDR companies travel into areas after hailstorms, operate temporarily for a few months, and then leave town. If issues arise after repairs are completed, it can often be difficult to contact them again, as many change business names, phone numbers, or relocate entirely. Unlike temporary storm companies, we are established here locally and stand behind our work long after the repairs are complete.

At Auto Hail Damage Repair, we waive deductibles while still maintaining the highest repair standards. We use factory parts when needed and work directly with your insurance company to help make the claims process as stress-free as possible. We also assist with loaner vehicles when available and can help with transportation to make the repair process easier for our customers.

We truly appreciate the continued support from our community and encourage everyone to consider supporting local businesses that are invested in Claremore and committed to serving customers for years to come.

Thank you,
Andrew Brassfield
