During the last City Commission meeting on June 3, an offer was publicized for a development group that had interest in constructing low-income housing on 906 State Street.According to Mayor Fred Guenther, the offer has been officially retracted by the development group due to comments by citizens at the meeting.The proposed facility was going hold four buildings with 138 units available. This includes 40 at market rate, 58 at 80% of area income, 34 at 50% of area income, and six at 40% of area income. When asked about the committee’s plan, Guenther said the commission will “keep talking to developers” for other opportunities coming up. The property is currently zoned as R3.Guenther also mentioned that another offer may be awhile, as uncertainty around the Gotion facility is keeping developers from flooding in.“We had one or two developers a week before the Gotion stuff started,” Guenther said. “Now, we only hear from maybe one a month.&rdq
