Manhattan city commissioners unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday opposing the proposed incorporation of the city of Green Valley in Pottawatomie County. The resolution says the petition is “inadvisable” under state law.
This decision authorizes city manager Danielle Dulin to present Manhattan’s position at an upcoming public hearing before the Pottawatomie County Commission.
Dulin said state law requires neighboring cities within five miles of a proposed incorporation to address factors including population growth, annexation history, the ability of the proposed city to provide services and the overall effect on orderly economic development.
