HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council gave consensus to staff to draw up the paperwork to sell the twenty underlying usable acres where the spec building will be built in the city's industrial park to Salt City Investments.
"What we want to do is set this up to where some level of approval can be granted authorizing the mayor to execute the documents so that the investor-developer can go ahead and get materials ordered," said City Manager Jeff Cantrell. "As you guys know, on a daily basis, those numbers are going up, through the roof."
The ground will be sold to the investor group at $5000 an acre. Chamber CEO Debra Teufel told Hutch Post last week that she is already receiving inquiries about the building and it isn't even built yet.
