A developer is interested in purchasing the old calendar factory and the Goncho Apartments building and possibly redeveloping the properties. The Washington City Council will have their first regular session meeting in the new fiscal year tonight and consider Brownfield/Grayfield applications for redevelopment. The applications are for a tax credit program for the properties located at 826 East Third Street and 306 North Marion Avenue. Brent Hinson, city administrator, explains in a memo that this tax credit program, along with state and federal historic tax credits will make the project, which is expected to cost millions of dollars, more feasible.

The council will also consider a development agreement with ACH Foam and will consider a resolution on conduit revenue bonds for the United Presbyterian Home. Tonight’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. in council chambers.
