Land development was the hot action item during the McPherson City Commission meeting, Monday morning.
Commissioners first considered a motion to annex an area of land in the Eastlinks Development, Premier Subdivision and Barnstormers Development. Nick Gregory, city administrator, explained the city is in the process of spreading special assessments on several of the lots in the developments. During that process, it came to their attention that additional property needed to be annexed in the city of McPherson for the city to spread and collect special assessments.
