Eudora city officials hope designs spark developer interest in downtown gateway properties

With conceptual designs in hand, city of Eudora officials are looking for investors to redevelop two properties on the southern entrance to downtown.

Eudora City Manager Barack Matite said one of the properties is the 4,320-square-foot former public safety building at 840 Main St., which has been used for storage since the city’s fire and police departments moved in July 2013 to a new building at 930 Main St. The other site is west across Main Street from the old public safety building and includes a city-owned vacant lot and a privately owned car wash.
The city requested proposals to purchase and redevelop the old public safety building in early May, Matite said.
