SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The City of South Hutchinson has released details about its new housing incentive program.
The council has been working on a new incentive program for new housing and approved moving forward with the program during its Sept. 8 meeting. The resolution for the incentive was then approved Sept. 21.
The new program will provide a $5,000 incentive to build a new single-family home under the following guidelines:
The minimum investment must be $100,000, the home must be in the city limits and in a taxed platted development. All zoning requirements must be met and a certificate of occupancy must be issued by the city. The home must also be connected to all city utilities to qualify.
The city has two incentive packages for neighborhood revitalization, but until now, has had no new home incentive to offer.
