City leadership in Cherryvale is hoping to acquire some vacant properties in town for future development.

 

At last night's Cherryvale City Council meeting, council members authorized City Manager Jonathan Booe to spend up to $20,000 at the upcoming Montgomery County tax sale. Booe says the main goal is to purchase lots to put into the land bank to make available to developers.

 

Booe says cleaning up lots in town comes with many benefits.

 

In other business, the council approved an animal control ordinance related to disposal costs of dangerous animals and approved the purchase of a dump truck for the public works department of up to $12,500.
