(KAIR)--The potential redevelopment housing project at 121 North Fourth Street in Atchison was shot down by commissioners on a close 3-2 vote.
Commissioners put an end to the project presented by Tim Quigley of Cohen-Esrey Development Group after concerns about available parking in the area and the low-income tax credits the project would utilize.
“Those tax credits specify low-income,” said Atchison City Manager Trey Cocking. “So I think there was a little bit of concern about how that would be used and whether or not it could be filled. Commissioners had questions with it.”
Cohen-Esrey had been working on a redevelopment plan to build a 30-unti, three-story affordable housing apartment building at the location.
Without the support of city commission, the development group cannot apply for the tax credits.
