City Plans to Buy Con Agra Building; Looks For Options to Develop Property

Garden City, KS (westernkansasnews.com) It is no secret local governments can play a hand in real estate to improve properties and then turn them around to a potential buyer later on. Officials in Garden City made that type of commitment last week in moving forward with plans to buy the old Con Agra facility from the current owner JBS Swift.

City Manager Matt Allen says there are some questions about water rights, but officials are comfortable with the pricetag of 2.5 million dollars.
