opportunity to build on what we already have and become a true sports tourism destination,” Hall says. HOUSING AND INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT Housing development is a priority across the community. Pittsburg has launched programs such as the City Housing Incentive Program (CHIP) and the Neighborhood Revitalization Program to support builders and encourage affordable construction. The CHIP offers a ten percent incentive for builders willing to construct homes in Pittsburg for lowmoderate income buyers. Recent residential neighborhoods have been completed across the city, including the Villas at Creekside, Peyton’s Hamlet, and Creekside East. Other developments are also underway with Silverback Landing and Sunflower Estates bringing additional homes to the community. Froman emphasizes that a diverse mix of housing options is essential to support the workforce and attract new residents. 49 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 09 PITTSBURG, KS
