Paola renews modified new housing incentive program

New home construction is on the rise in Paola, and city officials want to maintain the momentum. Paola City Council members, during their Sept. 13 meeting, agreed to renew the city’s housing construction incentive program that was set to expire Sept. 30. The program typically is reviewed each September and either renewed, modified or allowed to expire. The approved program was modified though to help offset losses in the city’s water fund. Previously, the incentive gave new home developers a reduction in building permit cost, plan review cost, and water and sewer connection fees on a sliding scale based on construction valuation.

Fed expected to hike rates by three-quarters of a point again, but its forecast may matter most

It’s not what the Federal Reserve does, but what it says it could do in the future that will be most crucial when the central bank winds down its two-day meeting Wednesday. The Fed is expected to fire off another three-quarter point rate hike — its third in a row. It will also release new quarterly forecasts for inflation, the economy, and the future path of interest rates Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET. The Fed’s projections are always important, but this time they are even more so because investors have been trying to game how high the Fed will raise interest rates and how much officials expect their actions could impact the economy.
