As housing demand grows in Manhattan, city leaders struggle to move projects forward amid disagreements over funding.
Manhattan Mayor Susan Adamchak, who joined KMAN’s Within Reason with Mike Matson earlier this month, said she’s proud of the city’s accomplishments on housing over the past two years, but admits getting the USD 383 school board, Riley County and Manhattan commissions to fully agree on housing projects has been difficult.
“We had one project we tried to bring forward last year, which encompassed 40 different housing units, and the county was not persuaded that this was worth the investment,” she said.
