HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Land Bank Board will consider a donation of land at its meeting on Tuesday.

According to agenda documents, an application to donate the lot located at 604 West 7th Ave. was submitted by Rebecca A. Hughes on May 18, 2023.

After several phone conversations. Rebecca and Thomas G. Lucas who are the co-heirs of the estate of Steven T. Lucas and Kenneth B. Lucas wish to donate the property to the Land Bank as they both live far away from Hutchinson.

The lot has a lot of older trees. On the application they stated that they would be willing to remove trees to make the lot more desirable to the Land Bank.

Staff is not recommending action one way or the other.

The applicant will be notified of the decision of the Land Bank Board of Directors.

If the Board decides to approve the application, staff will begin to process transfer of ownership.

The Hutchinson Land Bank Board of Trustees meets at 2 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.
