Boy Scouts property reverter clause at 1401 Old Greenwood Road
The city gave the Scouts land in 1962 that reverts to the city if it stops being used for scouting. The Scouts now want that clause gone so the property can be leased or sold, and the board weighed whether to keep a claim on the land or trade it for a first right of refusal and reimbursement.
Rezoning at 1401 Old Greenwood Road for Boy Scouts office use
