 There has been a lot of recent interest in Land Bank lots in Junction City Manager Allen Dinkel noted that more 300 lots have been sold in the last four months. New developers are coming in to build housing.

Dinkel said you see a lot more growth to the west. "Those lots that are kind of northeast of the new high school are selling. As you drive through there right now there's probably 10 to 15 houses being built in that area there. " Dinkel added that's also good for the community.

According to Dinkel the normal residential Land Bank lot sells for $5,000 and there have been some deals made with contractors and developers as well. Some lots will be given to the city for a future park in the northwest part of town and a possible future fire station.
