The Douglas County area school board backed an 85 percent, 10-year tax rebate for a $75 million seven story apartment retail development at 1101 and 1115 Indiana St across from KU Memorial Stadium.

The proposal follows a 3-2 city commission vote and faces a Douglas County review Wednesday. A separate 10-year 85 percent rebate was approved for rehab of three historic structures at 1106 Rhode Island St for office and rental housing.
