A group of Junction City and Geary County officials from different offices met Wednesday to work through the different requirements and process leading to the sale of the first vacant housing lots through a new land bank.

Junction City Manager Allen Dinkel said after the session he felt the County would move forward as quickly as possible “to have where the clear titles can be given when these lots are sold in mid-September.”

Geary County Commission Chair Ben Bennett noted the bottom line is that the officials from city and county “know that they have to go through a process in order to get this piece of property cleared so that it can have a clear title.”

The City wants to put 25 vacant lots up for sale in September.
