The City of Manhattan is resuming discussions about possible future annexation of the Green Valley area.
City Manager Ron Fehr informed Pottawatomie County Commissioners Monday that after putting off a discussion with its consultant last year due to the pandemic, the city has since re-engaged the conversation.
“We’ve invested heavily in that particular area from an infrastructure standpoint. As you know, we have an inter-local agreement with you for the sewer district,” Fehr said.
That coupled with agreements the city has with the rural water district help provide residents with services from the City of Manhattan. Fehr says he was surprised by the incorporation petition submitted by some in the area last month which assumed those agreements would continue, if a new city were incorporated.
