Wellington Council comes to an agreement with developers on Dollar Tree 17th Street project; developer apologizes to council

The 17th Street project, north of the Dollar Tree store in east Wellington has been pretty well resolved, according to city officials at its meeting Tuesday.

Wellington Public Works Director Jeremy Jones told the council he has been in touch with the developers and contractors, and have worked out an agreement for the correction. All but 29 feet of the project will have to be repaved and brought to city specifications. At Tuesday’s meeting, Ryan Kiser, a developer for Ridge Investment Group of Wichita, apologized to the council for paving the road too early, and said:
“We didn’t educate each other about the details of the project. We want to do what we say, and do the right thing.” Kiser also said RIG owns several other properties in Wellington and there is a lot of opportunity in Wellington.

“I am looking forward to us doing more development in Wellington,” he said.
