Frankfort Offering Free Residential Lots

By MSC News

(KMZA)-- The Marshall County community of Frankfort is taking a unique approach to developing residential housing. Heidi Wolfgang explains.

From March 1st to March 14th, the city is offering lots in the new Chitty Subdivision free of charge. Nine lots are available and vary in size from about 1 ½ acres to almost 3 acres.

City Clerk Melody Tommer says the lots will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis. While the lots are free, the new owner must pay the $6,000 fee for city water and sewer hookup. Those utilities are already in place. In addition, the Marysville Advocate reports the new owner will be required to present a proposal of their new construction within 90 days of acceptance and must have completed construction of a home within 18 months.

The subdivision came about after a local woman, Ruth Martin, donated $200,000 to develop the subdivision.

The subdivision is at the site of the old golf course in the northeast corner of the city.

For more information about how to apply for one of the free lots, contact the Frankfort City Hall at 785-292-4240.
