Developer withdraws tax-abatement request for 4th Street Apartments
Summary
The Long Prairie City Council accepted DW Jones Inc.'s withdrawal of a tax-abatement request for the 4th Street Apartments after the developer cited insufficient participation, and approved the consent agenda that included the withdrawal.
Acting Mayor David Wright told the Long Prairie City Council on Feb. 20 that DW Jones Inc. had withdrawn its tax-abatement request for the 4th Street Apartments, citing a lack of participation by tenants and partners. Council member Lilah Gripen moved, and Council member Clint Krueger seconded, to accept the withdrawal; the motion passed.
The withdrawal was announced during the consent-agenda portion of the meeting. The consent agenda — approved on a motion by Council member Jim Kreemer and seconded by Gripen — also included routine items such as agenda approval, corrections to prior meeting minutes, and bill approvals.
During public comment following the consent agenda, Steven Hinson addressed the council with concerns about R‑Way Manufacturing; the record does not include a direct response or action tied to that comment.
The council provided no roll-call vote tallies in the minutes for the withdrawal; the minutes state each motion passed. No new abatement application or revised developer plan was presented at the meeting. The council moved on to other agenda items after accepting the developer’s withdrawal.
