MONMOUTH — The city has authorized the sale of seven acres of city-owned property to a developer who intends to build 44 units of affordable housing.
An ordinance authorizing the sale of the property for $1 to Iceberg Development of LeClaire, Iowa, for the Monmouth Townhomes project was approved Monday by the City Council.
“This ordinance would allow us to proceed with the sale of the property,” said City Administrator Lew Steinbrecher.
A recent housing study showed rental units are in short supply in Monmouth.
