Affordable housing is an issue in any rural community, but since the tornado of 2007 hit Greensburg it has been an ever-present problem. A group of contractors and grant recipients recently held an open house to show-off new housing units that help alleviate that problem on a small scale for Kiowa County. Stacy Barnes, Greensburg City Administrator, said the completion of two duplexes are the culmination of long-awaited project. “Since the 2007 tornado, housing is continually identified as a need for Greensburg’s continued recovery and growth and we are excited that this project has come to fruition,” said Barnes.
