Discussion restarted Monday on gauging the desire to develop prime real estate land along Broadway Avenue just west of the Yankton City Cemetery.
As more and more individuals are being cremated, the need for additional cemetery land is decreasing. Considering current interment trends, the Yankton City Cemetery has more than 160 years of space still available.
Yankton Community & Economic Development Director Dave Mingo says his office gets asked regularly about the tract of land…
Former City Commissioner Charlie Gross was strongly opposed to any development on that tract of land…
After further discussion, the commission directed city staff to bring forward a request for proposal (RFP) on the land at a future meeting.
