(KAIR) -- The majority of Atchison County property owners who earlier this year received wasteland valuations much higher than expected get good news.

Atchison County Commissioner Mike Bodenhausen says this will give roughly 90 percent of land owners affected a much lower valuation. ( play audio )

The issue arose in recent months when affected property owners received their valuations, and were shocked to see they had jumped from $10 an acre to 11-hundred dollars an acre.
