During the public input portion of the regular meeting of the Gregory County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday, February 21, Chris Burkholder asked Commissioner Byrain Boes his reason for not wanting Joseph Yoder to improve his parcel of land (his variance had been denied at the previous board meeting). Boes said that the land needs to be improved, but it needs to be done right, according to regulations. The parcel was formerly used as a sand pit.

The discussion about what to do with the city’s empty lots on Main Street was again a topic on the agenda at the regular meeting of the Gregory City Council on Tuesday, February 20.
