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.
The hope is that the sale of land no longer needed would relieve the city of having to maintain those properties as well as bring in new revenue.
"It is not as if we are going to sell half of Morse Park to pay the bills," Werneke said last week."
