With the Hutchinson Chamber not making the cut last month for a state grant it sought to begin a new business park with, South Hutchinson city officials agreed Tuesday to take $500,000 it pledged for the project off the table, at least for now. However, the council was not in favor of the city spending money on a speculative commercial building of its own. South Hutchinson City Administrator Joseph Turner advised the council that the chamber would still like the city to commit the funds for economic development but that he was not “automatically willing to commit to another project right now.” Mayor Matt Nisly said he was open to other possibilities if the chamber had a specific project, but he agreed with Turner that it would depend on the project.
