When they met Wednesday, Leavenworth County commissioners voted for a recommendation for future land use along a County Road 1 corridor south of Tonganoxie.
This will not be the commission’s final action on the matter. The recommendation will now be forwarded to the Tonganoxie City Council for review. The issue will be brought back to the County Commission at a later date for final adoption, according to Krystal Voth, deputy director for the Leavenworth County Planning and Zoning Department.
The commission had previously hired the firm Vireo to do a land use analysis of the County Road 1 corridor.
The corridor spans six miles south of Tonganoxie. The corridor also extends 1.5 miles to the west of County Road 1 and 1.5 miles to the east of County Road 1.
The corridor includes the county’s only interchange with the Kansas Turnpike.
