The possibility of a mini-retreat in Junction City to get ideas from the community has surfaced.

Junction City Manager Allen Dinkel reported that the Chamber of Commerce CEO, Dennis Beson, has talked with him about taking the regional concept from the Leaders Retreat in Overland Park and bringing it locally to get local input. “Even though we have to work together as a region, I think we also have to organize as a community, as a county.”

Dinkel said the subject received discussion in passing, but he thinks it’s an idea that they’ll work with the Chamber to push forward. No time frame has been set at this point.
