Renovation of an affordable senior housing apartment complex in Hiawatha is being planned.
The nonprofit community organization, Winter Center of Lawrence, plans to seek low-income housing tax credits through the Kansas Housing Resource Corporation to help finance the rehabilitation of the Pemberton Village Apartments located on North 1st Street.
The Hiawatha City Commission Monday approved a resolution supporting the tax credit application.
City Administrator Lynne Ladner said Winter Center is attempting to purchase the apartments and renovate them. Ladner said they want to bring the apartments back to their original status.
The first portion of the apartment complex was built in 1975 and the second portion in 1990.
The tax credit application is due Friday.
Winter Center also plans to seek other funding to rehabilitate the property.
