(KAIR--)Developers and contractors looking to build in Atchison could qualify for assistance from the state.
The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation is a self-supporting pubic company working to increase affordable housing for low to moderate income Kansans, according to its website.
A program is already in place that helps Kansas communities with a population 60,000 or less to develop housing.
Now, Atchison’s Economic Development Advisory Group is seeking local developers, contractors or non-profits to partner with them to go through the application process.
Atchison Pubic Works and Utility Director Justin Pregont said whether or not people agree with the assistance, which is essentially a subsidy, the fact is the program is already in place so the city may as well take advantage of a program it’s already helping to fund.
Pregont is confident in the likelihood of Atchison being awarded the assistance since nobody in Northeast Kansas has ever applied for it.
The application deadline is in October, but Pregont says interested parties should contact the city as soon as possible as the application process will be lengthy.
Anyone interested should contact Justin Pregont at justinp@cityofatchison.com or call (913) 367-5561.
