Fort Riley and community leaders continue to discuss the size of the housing inventory on post and how it affects the community, including property managers and real estate investors.

Junction City Mayor Mick McCallister provided an update, saying he has talked about the issue with Major General Wayne Grigsby Jr. and Garrison Commander Colonel Andrew Cole. “They are formulating a communications plan, and they are going to ask the communities to be part of their planning charrette to make sure that we understand what issues there are with the stationing numbers at Fort Riley.”

McCallister added it’s not known if those numbers will go up or down. “And it looks like in the future those numbers may be squeezed a little bit if sequestration continues.”

McCallister said the conversation is ongoing. He is hopeful a resolution can be reached on the numbers promised by the Army originally to the community, and where they are today.
