August 18, 2015

The Atchison City Commission expressed interest on Monday in creating a new program called a land bank, which would allow the city of Atchison to take possession of blighted properties for housing redevelopment.

Commissioners gave city staff their nod of approval on Monday following City Manager Trey Cocking’s presentation on the subject. Now, an ordinance creating a land bank is expected for the commission’s approval on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
