Scott City Battle Over Motels and Water Tower Demolition
Scott City proceeds with demolitions of three controversial structures as one owner fights to keep two West Kansas Highway 96 motels. An injunction was filed to block tear downs, with a hearing set for July 11 in Scott County District Court after council papers were served May 24. The historic 1913 water tower, torn down earlier this month, sparked mixed reactions from residents who proposed preservation, sale, or relocation. Financial calculations favored demolition over restoration, with costs for study and upkeep surpassing removal expenses.
