(KNZA)--A grant will be sought again for a proposed housing development project in Hiawatha.
The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening adopted a resolution authorizing Michael Webb of WPS LLC, of Wichita, to submit a grant application to the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation for funding through the Kansas Moderate Income Housing Program.
Webb meet with the Commission via Zoom to request their approval to move forward.
he funding is being sought for construction of six duplexes on about two-acres of city-owned land, west of Bruning Park. The duplexes would be available for rent.
Two previous grant applications were unsuccessful.
City Administrator Brad Scott said the previous developer is not able to continue with the project at this time and Webb has expressed an interest in taking over.
Webb said he also plans to seek housing tax credits for the project.
Both applications are due November 21.
In other business, the Commission was informed the the industrial revenue bonds the city issued in 2012 for the construction of the Best Western Inn Plus Hotel have been paid off.
Bond counsel Kevin Cowan meet with the Commission via Zoom to request approval of a resolution transferring the title back to the project developer, which the Commission approved.
The hotel, located east of McDonald's, opened in June 2013.
