HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After passing through the housing commission, the Hutchinson City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday to take action on three proposals for new or expanded apartment complexes.

The three proposals went before the housing commission during its meeting last Wednesday. Since the matter has time constraints, the council decided to meet in special session.

The projects come from Manske and Associates and Interfaith Housing who want to renovate the old St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and turn it into 47 apartment units. The second is from Disability Supports of the Great Plains who wants to build a new apartment complex near its campus on Waldron. The third is from the developer of Commerce Gardens who wants to add four new buildings with 48 total units to the apartment complex.

All three proposals would include requests for tax credits from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation. The action by the council Tuesday would be in support of those proposals.
Tuesday’s meeting begins at 9 a.m. in the Hutchinson city offices.
