HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative is continuing its work with the neighborhood around Lincoln Elementary School at 315 East Bigger to make it the city's next featured neighborhood.
You can join the conversation on Tuesday, September 20 at the Senior Center at Elmdale Park.
The public is encouraged to come with ideas and discussion topics so the neighborhood can set some goals for the future.
The city has a couple of incentive programs that are specifically available to featured neighborhoods, according to Adam Stewart with Hutch Rec.
One program is a down payment incentive, up to $2500 toward the down payment to purchase a home in one of the featured neighborhoods for a first-time home buyer.
The other one is they have a program with Peoples Bank and Trust, where people can receive an interest free home repair loan. Essentially, the city pays the interest on the loan.
