Real estate developers based in Kansas City have their eye on the vacant lot near Wilson Park in Arkansas City as the possible site of town houses and apartments. The City Commission is scheduled Tuesday to consider a memorandum of understanding with Consolidated Housing Services and Consolidated Development Partners to acquire the land and develop it. The spot is the former location of the old South Central Kansas Medical Center building, torn down in 2015. A report for commissioners says the proposed development would include 15 market-rate town homes and 40 apartments of mostly affordable units, meaning income restrictions, with some market-rate apartments included.
