Hiawatha, KS — The Hiawatha Foundation for Economic Development (HFED) Board of Directors has approved a $17,500 investment to cover architectural design fees for a new duplex housing development led by local developer Michael Webb. This funding supports a planned 3- to 5-acre site within city limits near Bruning Park that will feature attractive, single-story duplexes — each offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage — designed to meet the housing needs of working families and retirees alike.
Just in time for the Hiawatha Community Foundation’s annual Give Back to Move Forward Match Days, the Hiawatha Foundation for Economic Development (HFED) has officially launched its Facade Improvement Grant Program — a new initiative aimed at helping local businesses improve the exterior appearances of their buildings.
Hiawatha Foundation for Economic Development hosted its annual meeting at The Alley--located at 1000 1st Street--on Wednesday, Jan. 22.
