Atchison County approves resolution supporting two downtown apartment projects and KHITC/MIH applications
Summary
The Atchison County Commission unanimously passed Resolution 2025-1554 to support applications from 19 13 LLC and Central School Apartments LLC to the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation for Moderate Income Housing (MIH) funds and Kansas Housing Investor Tax Credits (KHITC).
The Atchison County Commission on Aug. 26 unanimously approved Resolution 2025-1554, formally supporting applications by local developers for state housing incentives to add four downtown rental units.
The resolution supports 19 13 LLC’s 19 13 Apartments Phase 2 and Central School Apartments LLC’s Central School Apartments Suite D in applications to the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation for the Moderate Income Housing (MIH) program and the Kansas Housing Investor Tax Credit (KHITC).
Under the resolution, 19 13 LLC requested $150,000 in MIH funds and KHITC equivalent to three units (listed in the application as $96,000). Central School Apartments LLC requested KHITC for one unit (listed as $32,000). The resolution authorizes the county clerk to sign required accessibility, energy and site-review certifications once Pomeroy Development LLC’s developer, Justin Prejean, has executed a compliance guarantee.
The board read the resolution into the record and then voted to adopt the measure. The motion passed unanimously with three yes votes.
Why it matters: The two projects would add four apartment units downtown and use state programs intended to increase housing options across income levels. The county’s support is one element of the application package required by the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation.
Speakers at or referenced in the agenda item included the county clerk and commissioners; Justin Prejean of Pomeroy Development had previously discussed the projects with the board, according to meeting remarks.
Votes and immediate effects - Resolution 2025-1554: Adopted (unanimous vote). The county clerk is authorized to sign application checklists and certifications after the developer’s compliance guarantee is in place. The resolution takes effect on passage.
What the resolution requested (as recorded in the application text presented to the board): - 19 13 LLC: $150,000 in MIH funds; KHITC allocation equivalent to 3 units ($96,000 in the application summary). - Central School Apartments LLC: KHITC allocation equivalent to 1 unit ($32,000 in the application summary).
The county did not allocate local funds as part of the resolution; it provided formal support and authorization for required application signatures.
