\nElizabethtown City officials are working to finalize the sale of a vacant lot to be developed into housing.<\/p>\n
The proposal from HC Realty, the real estate arm of local factory Kruger Packaging, includes constructing more than 100 apartment units on the vacant lot.<\/p>\n
The property is located on College Street. It is the former home of E-Town Sportswear before the city purchased the property and tore down the building earlier this year.<\/p>\n
While the apartments are being developed for factory employees, anyone is welcome to become a tenant. <\/p>\n
Kruger is purchasing the 4.7 acre lot for $750,000, the same amount the city paid for the total 10-acre property earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
The deal is still in the works but Mayor Jeff Gregory says it is nearly done. He said the city is going to partner with them to put in what is called a pocket park, and possibly a bridge across the creek, that would give them the opportunity to go across to the community center.<\/p>\n
The city has already acquired other similar lots, and is working to buy more property to address a serious housing need during an industrial boom.<\/p>\n
The sale of the property should be completed within the next few months. The timeline for completion of the apartment community is not known.
