Old Middle School project aims to lure support in Ottawa
Steve Foutch, a Kansas City developer, urged Ottawa City and Franklin County officials to back his plan to convert the condemned Ottawa Middle School on Main Street into low income elderly housing, offices, and recreation facilities at an estimated eight million dollars with no financial risk to local government. He seeks state and federal tax credits and discussed relocating county offices to the renovated building. plans hinge on long term tax credit expiration and eventual sale to Friends of Historical Buildings or other tenants. The proposal also touches on possible courthouse renovations and annex office moves, though officials call these ideas exploratory. Foutch has similar projects progressing in Leavenworth, Lexington, St. Joseph, and Kansas City.
