The Metropolitan Planning Commission in Junction Cityhas delayed action on a special use permit request for the Junction City Baptist Church until the board’s meeting in September.

The site for the proposed church would be on a six-acre location just north of the Armour Eckrich plant on the southwest side of the city.

During a meeting Thursday night at the Municipal Building, MPC Board member Mike Watson, moved to table the request. “Motion to table this until the next meeting when you come back with a little more information. It’s not that we’re opposed to it. We’re just ignorant of what you’re going to do. We need that information.” Church representatives were in attendance.

The church began in Junction City four years ago. The past two years they have met at the convention center in Junction City.

The special use permit is expected to return to the Planning Board in September once Church officials submit more detailed information on the project.
