A second edition was printed in 2002 with a few minor changes. Since that printing, Wichita property owners have expressed a growing interest in listing their properties in the Register of Historic Kansas Places (RHKP) and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and many have been added. Also, a commercial area, the Warehouse and Jobbers District, was listed in 2003 and Wichita’s four historic districts were listed in the RHKP and NRHP in 2004. In this latest edition additional research was conduct- ed to ensure accuracy. The brochure is organized alphabetically by the name of the structure. The entries are also numbered to correspond with locations on the map found at the front of the brochure. An online publication of the Discover Historic Wichita brochure is updated as properties and/or his- toric districts are added to Wichita’s inventory of list- ed properties. The current version is on the Historic Preservation Office website at http://www.wichita. gov/Residents/History/. Biographical notes of relevant architects have been added to this brochure.

  • Agenda Item No. IV-1 City of Wichita City Council Meeting July 11, 2017
    Agenda Item No. IV-1 City of Wichita City Council Meeting July 11, 2017 TO: Mayor and City Council SUBJECT: Resolution Setting a Public Hearing for Consideration of a Project Plan (Tax Increment Financing) for the Naftzger Park Project (District I) INITIATED BY: Office of Urban Development AGENDA: New Business Recommendation: Adopt the resolution setting a public hearing on August 15, 2017 for consideration of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Project Plan for the Naftzger Park Project (Project). Background: On May 8, 2007, the City Council established the Center City South Redevelopment District in downtown Wichita, in order to permit the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to pay for certain eligible costs. On December 2, 2008, the City Council adopted an ordinance expanding the Center City South Redevelopment District for the purpose of providing TIF to fund various infrastructure projects needed in the area of Downtown Wichita surrounding Intrust Bank Arena. On May 16, 2017, the City Council amended the District Plan to allow for TIF financing to be used to improve Naftzger Park. The next step in establishing the legal authority to use TIF is the adoption by the City Council of a redevelopment project plan, within the district, which provides more detailed information on the proposed project and how TIF would be used, and demonstrates how the projected increase in property tax revenue will amortize the costs financed with TIF. Similar to the process for establishing the TIF district, adoption of the TIF Project Plan also requires a public hearing to be held by the City Council, following the giving of proper notice, prior to adopting an ordinance that approves the project plan.

This plan is an update from the 2008 PROS plan that provided us with valuable information and direction. Since 2008 our city has experienced several changes and fluctuations. We are not the same city we were just 8 years ago. Much of our infrastructure has changed and how we operate and do business has also changed. However; much of the interest and passion for parks and recreational activities has not changed! There still is a huge desire to meet the needs of the community and provide the best park & recreation services that we can offer. That is where our P&R Department comes in to play.
