The Metropolitan Planning Commission has delayed any decision on the final plat for a proposed Dollar General Store at the southwest corner of Grant Avenue and North Monroe in Junction City.

City staff received the request for the continuance on Thursday.

Staff has raised the infrastructure concerns on both North Monroe and Grant Avenue at the location, but MPC Chair Maureen Gustafson urged more consideration of this project. “I think any time that we can bring a business into Junction City we need to look at all avenues to be able to work that through. We’re losing businesses right and left so if there is some way for us to be able to fit a business in without causing a lot of problems within the driving district and such we need to look at all avenues.”

The project will be brought back to the MPC in January for review with more available platting details.
