Commissioners approve reinvestment housing incentive district for Coffey County
Summary
The Coffey County commission unanimously passed Resolution No. 2026-970 designating a proposed Reinvestment Housing Incentive District and authorized the chairman to send a request for approval to the Kansas Department of Commerce.
Coffey County commissioners voted unanimously to pass Resolution No. 2026-970, which makes findings and sets forth the legal description of property proposed to be designated as a Reinvestment Housing Incentive District (RHID) within the county.
County Counselor Wade Buie told the board the draft resolution and its exhibit (legal description and map) appeared to be prepared by bond counsel Gilmore & Bell and did not raise issues for him on initial review. Following brief discussion, the board voted to adopt the resolution and separately authorized the chairman to sign a letter to the Kansas Department of Commerce requesting approval of the RHID designation for Coffey County.
The resolution includes the legal description and map of the district; the board recorded the motion and approved both the resolution and the authorization to submit the request to state commerce officials. No further details on project financing or a developer agreement were presented at the meeting.
Next step: county staff will submit the authorized letter and supporting materials to the Kansas Department of Commerce for the state review required to finalize an RHID designation.
