A new housing development — including homes, retail and three-bedroom apartments that may rent for $2,000 per month — is slated to be built in west Killeen.
It isnât often that the public hears Killeen City Council members describe a program as appearing to be demonizing, but thatâs exactly how the proposed Multifamily Rental Inspection Unit was described Tuesday.
âItâs possible that some might feel that weâre demonizing people,â Killeenâs Development Services Director Tony McIlwain said Tuesday as the council workshop approached its seventh hour late Tuesday night.
âThatâs exactly what Iâm worried about,â Councilman Ken Wilkerson said.
The proposal in question is a new inspection unit, which would seek to improve the quality of life for residents in and around apartment complexes and quad-plexes by requiring landlords to register for inspections with the city, according to McIlwain. .
