Dr. Theresa McCreath has a special use permit request before the Junction City/Milford/Geary County Metropolitan Planning Commission Thursday night.

The permit would allow her to operate a small animal veterinary hospital on the northwest corner of the intersection of Strauss Boulevard and South Spring Valley Road on Junction City’s west side. McCreath explained that the sale of that piece of land is contingent on whether or not she can get the special use permit.

“My plan is to get this and then build a vet clinic out there. It will be just small animals only, there won’t be any large animal at all at that facility,” said McCreath.

She said that if the permit is granted then she hopes to get construction started right away and hopefully be open within four to six months. McCreath added that she would name the new clinic the Spring Valley Veterinary Hospital.

The MPC meets Thursday night at 7 pm in the commission room of the Municipal Building.
