Future usage of the former Junction City High School location was part of the discussion at the joint city - county - USD 475 meeting on Monday at the C.L. Hoover Opera House.
The school board recently voted to sell the property to the city for $1 with a memorandum of understanding still needing to be prepared. The school district would demolish the property and turn the site over to the city.
During conversation Monday it was noted that the city would like to discuss some things regarding some of the facilities such as the football field and parking lots. The site has also been considered as a potential site for a future public library.
Mayor Jeff Underhill said he is looking forward to getting the deal done for the city to acquire ownership of the property. "That way we can hit the ground running. Nic Youngers ( Parks and Recreation Director ) has some fantastic plans and things in place and ready to get rolling, so I'm excited for the opportunity."
