The City of Arkansas City invites residents to attend an open house to provide input on a proposed development plan at the intersection of 8th Street and Skyline Road. This come-and-go event will be held on July 23, 2024, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the First Church of the Nazarene, 1928 N. 11 Street. The City of Arkansas City recently purchased a 101-acre tract in the northwest part of the city for housing development. During a City Commission work session, it was determined that a Master Plan for the housing project would be necessary to properly develop the site, covering aspects such as housing type, infrastructure, and other planning elements. City staff have developed a relationship with Professional Engineering Consultants (PEC) and proposed that they develop a Master Plan for the site. As part of the agreement, PEC has written a proposal and will develop the plan, meet with staff, conduct public meetings for community input, and present the final plan to the City Commission for approval and adoption.
