Developers on Tuesday made a revised pitch to the Manhattan City Commission for tax incentives on a middle-income duplex project. The Riley County Commission earlier this month struck down a proposal to use the state’s Reinvestment Housing Incentive District program for the same development.
The original proposal would have made use of RHID funds. The county’s veto of the project in June took that off the table. The new project, the Workforce Housing Sales Tax Proposal, would rely partly on sales tax funds.
The new plan still includes 40 units, though the original unit mix of 28 houses for sale and 12 units for rent was changed to 22 for sale and 18 for rent.
