All eyes will be on the Riley County Commission Thursday as the board considers a possible veto of a Manhattan workforce housing project.
In a Wednesday newsletter to its members, the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce reiterated its support for the project and urged the county to support the project.
“We would be disappointed if the county would take this approach on the issue,” the letter stated. “We cannot continue to pay for existing services if we don’t grow. The existing tax burden on our residents, small businesses and entrepreneurs and lack of growth to provide more jobs and shopping opportunities is dragging down our ability to achieve our full economic potential.”
