Cynthia Richson, a commission member and board chair of the Town of Middleton, said plane noise recently woke her three times between 2-3:30 a.m. “They may be (Med Flights) saving lives but there’s a lot of sleep deprivation caused by planes flying west of the airport,” she said. The airport has a noise abatement program which directs pilots to avoid developed areas, but planes on instrument approach can fly as low as 400 feet above the ground. “I’m in the noise abatement area and it isn’t working,” said a Meadowrue Circle resident. “Planes fly low over my house on a daily basis, it’s every two minutes sometimes; over and over and over…I want it stopped. I don’t want (airport expansion)...I don’t like what we have now,” she said.

  • February 22Nd, 2021 Mayor Brandon Whipple and Members of City Council City of Wichita, City Hall 455 N
    February 22nd, 2021 Mayor Brandon Whipple and Members of City Council City of Wichita, City Hall 455 N. Main St Wichita, KS 67202 RE: Proposed City of Wichita, Kansas Tax Exempt Industrial Revenue Bonds Issuance Steele Greenway LLC is a newly established entity created for the purpose of purchasing, renovating and operating the apartment complex known as Greenway Park. The apartment complex is located at, 404 W. Pawnee Street, Wichita, KS 67213. The 3-story, mid-rise apartment building is situated on 3.3 acres of land and contains 91 one-bedroom units reserved for very low income elderly and disabled residents. The property is 100% covered by a Project Based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract which subsidizes the resident-paid portion of the rents due each month. The property is currently well occupied with a strong waiting list. Built in 1979, the property has not received substantial repairs since being originally constructed and is in significant need of both interior and exterior renovation. Steele Greenway LLC plans to significantly renovate the complex following the purchase resulting in substantial interior, exterior and unit repairs. Additionally, as part of the purchase the HAP contract will be extended for a period of 20 years from the closing date preserving this important affordable housing resource for the community. Following the acquisition, Greenway Park will be managed by Monroe Group Ltd., the sister company to Steele Properties which is the parent entity of Steele Greenway LLC. At this time, we are requesting your support for the issuance of $10,000,000 City of Wichita, tax exempt industrial revenue bonds to help fund the planned renovations for this project.

  • 2022-2031 Proposed Capital Improvement Program
    CITY OF WICHITA, KANSAS 2022 - 2031 Adopted Capital Improvement Program The City of Wichita is a leading-edge organization serving a dynamic and inclusive community. As an exceptionally well-run city, we will Keep Wichita safe, Grow our economy, Build and maintain dependable infrastructure and Provide conditions for living well. 2022-2031 Adopted Capital Improvement Program 1 Wichita, Kansas 2022-2031 CIP Highlights The 2022-2031 Adopted CIP is guided by the overall spending priorities and guidelines of the Community Investments Plan and allocates funding to projects aligned with the City’s mission. Adopted projects are aligned to the long-term Community Investments Plan, consistent with the City mission, and recommended based on a prioritization model. The CIP includes over 80% of funding aligned to the “very high” priority areas in the Community Investments Plan. Projects are consistent with strategies based on the City’s mission, including projects to keep Wichita safe, provide conditions for living well, grow the economy and build dependable infrastructure. The specific placement and timing of projects is based on an empirical prioritization model. Debt levels will increase in the short-term (but within benchmark levels) and will decrease towards the end of the ten-year planning horizon. Total debt is expected to rise, consistent with spending plans developed over the past few years. However, this debt is projected to be managed within benchmark levels before declining in the latter years of the planning period. Local Sales Tax funding is used primarily for streets, with some funding used for bridges and freeways. With over 13 miles of freeway projects nearing completion, sales tax funding is shifted to streets, funding $322 million of street and bridge projects in the Adopted CIP.
