City Selling Itself
22 September 2009 - 9:00am
Neosho, Missouri, facing a severe budget crisis, is searching its inventory for property it can sell off. Some say the easy properties have already been sold.
"Mayor Jeff Werneke said the city likely has a number of properties -- some less than an acre -- acquired years ago that it no longer needs, such as a right of way for a road that ultimately took a different alignment.

"It is not as if we are going to sell half of Morse Park to pay the bills," Werneke said last week."
