Brewery, housing, proposed for Atchison

(KAIR)--A riverfront brewery could be coming to Atchison, courtesy of action taken Monday by the Atchison City Commission.

Meanwhile, a development agreement is approved for a proposed, new, multi-family residential development.

That happened Monday, during the regular meeting of the Atchison City Commission. According to the City, the residential development is planned for the corner of Second and Commercial Streets.

According to a release, the agreement approved Monday allows “for city utility investments in water and wastewater connections to help the project get off the ground.” Although construction of the development is not guaranteed, Interim City Manager Justin Pregont, in the release, says it’s hoped the agreement pushes the project forward, but adds “they still have some hurdles to cross before you can consider them a done deal.” Monday’s meeting was the last for Pregont as acting City Manager under the interim title, with the release noting that Pregont’s last official day as a City employee is May 4. However, the release says “there is a possibility of the City working out a contract with Pregont to continue doing economic development and capital project development for the City moving forward.”
