(KNZA)--A community information meeting on the Villas of Beautiful Maples duplex project in Hiawatha is scheduled for next week.

The project, planned near Bruning Park, will be the focus of a public meeting Monday evening, April 20 at 6:00 at the Fisher Center.

Organizers say the session will provide a detailed look at the development, including how the project came together and how it’s intended to help address local housing needs.

Representatives from the City of Hiawatha, the Hiawatha Foundation for Economic Development, and the project developer will be on hand to walk attendees through the project details and funding structure.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from those involved and gain a better understanding of the community's housing needs and how this project is intended to begin to address them.

Officials encourage the public to submit questions ahead of time through an online form available on the City of Hiawatha and HFED Facebook pages. Those questions will be prioritized, followed by a structured question-and-answer session.

Organizers say the meeting is designed to inform the public, provide transparency, and gather community input.
