The Land Bank Board has directed city staff to seek requests for proposals from local realtors to market the numerous vacant housing lots on the west side of Junction City.

Allen Dinkel, City Manager, explained that they would select a realtor to market the Land Bank products. There are many lots available. “I think we have to get people that want to live here in Junction City. Work with the EDC to get more people to live here, want to live here, build here.”

Dinkel noted there are a lot of houses for sale in Junction City right now. “And until we get that number down it’s going to be tough to build new houses.”

Dinkel added he thought many of the things being put in place are good to try and get more people to live in Junction City.
