Hays City Approves Housing Options and Appoints Matthew Wheeler
What happened
Hays city commissioners approved two new housing proposals. Epworth Village is seeking a 15-month exclusive option for city-owned property to build low-income housing, which would be donated by the city if funds are raised and the design is approved. Additionally, the commissioners approved a resolution of support for a moderate-income housing grant application.

Why it matters
The city's housing needs assessment identifies low-income housing as the highest need. These approvals support the development of new residential units, which could impact local housing supply and development costs in Hays.
