Looking for a place to build your dream green home? Greensburg resident Matt Deighton is offering a free lot in his hometown.

The 100×150-foot lot is on Spruce Street, about four blocks south of U.S. 54. He bought the property from a woman whose home was destroyed in the tornado. She later moved to Pratt, Deighton said.

Deighton told the Kiowa County Signal that he is looking for a younger family, preferably with school-aged kids, who’d like to build a home and settle down in Greensburg.

“I’d also like to see them build a green home, in keeping with how our town is rebuilding,” Deighton said. “Someone like that inquires and is really serious about building and living here, the property is theirs.”


Deighton said he has received nine phone calls since he erected the signs on the lot and around town. He also posted the free lot offer on craigslist this week.
