Prior to now USD 475 has receiving funding for three new schools on Fort Riley. Those included Fort Riley Middle School, Seitz Elementary School, and the new Fort Riley Elementary School which is opening for the 2015-16 term.

–The new med-com facility in Junction City is gearing up for treatment of military dependent patients. It is the 22nd out 51 of those facilities being built across the country. It will be available to active duty soldier families who reside off of Fort Riley, and to military retirees.

–On the subject of a new Junction City High School, there are no plans at this time for a new facility. Superintendent Dr. Corbin Witt noted in January a community strategic planning committee will be formed, and officials will then find out what the community wants. The committee can make recommendations to the Board of Education.

–November 11 is opening day for the new Walmart Neighborhood Market on the west side of Junction City.
