So with those important middle income houses harder to come by, it’s made things difficult to grow a city’s population. But this hasn’t stopped Fort Scott City Manager Jeremy Frazier. He sees potential in some of the city’s other properties. Jeremy Frazier, Fort Scott City Manager, said, “What we discovered is that we have a lot of homes that are low to moderate income homes, and we have a few homes that are on the higher end of that scale.” So Fort Scott officials want to take advantage of these properties. “We’re trying to market those lots for in field development to developers who are interested in that middle, moderate income housing style home, and we have quite a bit of that available that is mainly not city owned property, but we’re trying to connect those developers with those owners.” To help build needed momentum the city can use for its future.
