FORT PIERRE, (KCCR) — Fort Pierre is moving baby steps closer to possibly putting flood buyout lots from the U-S Army Corps of Engineers back on the market for housing. Mayor Gloria Hanson told the Fort Pierre City Council Monday night some headway is being made in putting the Corps lots to use…
The Corps of Engineers bought out 44 lots in Fort Pierre in the early 2000s with the provision that the lots could not be used for residential housing….
Fort Pierre may be able to buy back the properties at pennies on the dollar…
Currently the patchwork of lots are only good for parks and green space, but getting the lots back on the tax rolls will lead to greater property tax revenue for Stanley County and Fort Pierre.
