At Friday’s State of the University address, K-State president Richard Linton presented the Campus Master Plan and explained changes planned for the university, from a new walking trail along Campus Creek to renovating Ahearn Field House into an event space.

City commissioners meet Tuesday night with a full agenda, including finalizing a survey on a potential indoor aquatics facility.

Previous studies showed a strong desire from the community for indoor aquatics, which only increased with the shuttering of K-State’s Natatorium. City staff have contracted with ETC Institute to design the statistically-valid survey, which they hope will also gauge community support for a broader improvement project at CiCo Park.

Commissioners also will weigh an ordinance allowing condemnation of two properties tied to the Fort Riley Boulevard sidewalk gap project.

Manhattan city commissioners on Tuesday will decide whether to give incentives to a project to redevelop the Commerce Bank building at Eighth Street and Poyntz Avenue.

Officials from Hartfield LLC are requesting up to $15 million in industrial revenue bonds and a 10-year property tax abatement to turn the downtown building at 727 Poyntz Ave. into a retail and residential space.

If passed, the ordinance would allow the developer to pay taxing entities a total of the roughly $2 million 2024 value of the building over the next 10 years.
