(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission, during a short special meeting Tuesday morning, approved the creation of a reinvestment housing incentive district for a proposed duplex development project on city-owned land, west of Bruning Park.
City Administrator Brad Scott said the project developer wants to create the housing incentive district to help pay for infrastructure improvements for the project.
The Commission voted 3-0 to authorize Mayor Becky Shamburg to sign the documents for the creation of the district. Commissioners Evans Woehlecke and Toni Hull were absent.
The Commission at their October 28th meeting gave the project developer, Michael Webb, of Wichita, approval to submit a grant application to the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation for funding through the Kansas Moderate Income Housing Program to help finance the project.
Two previous grant applications were unsuccessful.
