PRAIRIE CITY – The City of Prairie City will be holding a public hearing on March 8th at City Hall. This will be to consider the petition filed by the city on June 8th, to vacate portions of Fourth Street West and Johnson Avenue North. Mayor Scott Officer was on Coffee Time last month, explaining that the city has 100-foot right of ways on some streets where it’s unnecessary, so they’ll be looking to vacate some property:
“…narrowing up our city right-of-ways. The way that works, is the property on either side gets given extra.“
The Mayor also talked about some alleyways being vacated:
“The property on either side of the alleyway gets split in the middle and each one gains a little bit of property.”
The meeting is open to the public and will be held March 8th at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall in Prairie City. Find the press release from Prairie City below:
