FORT RILEY, Kan. - Fort Riley officials are inviting builders, developers, realtors and financiers to a Housing Summit from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Aug. 23 at Riley’s Conference Center.
The basis of discussion will be projected housing needs and affordable housing for Soldiers and their Families in the Central Flint Hills Region, as well as troop movement at Fort Riley.
“The Housing Summit provides an avenue for Fort Riley to update local lending institutions and developers on the growth of Fort Riley and to relay our housing requirements that can be met within the Central Flint Hills Region,” said Larry McGee, director of Fort Riley’s Public Works. “Adequate and affordable housing is a critical component to the retention of our Soldiers and Families at Fort Riley and in the Army.”
Builders, developers, realtors and financiers are highly encouraged to contact Pattie Mayhew, Fort Riley Housing Office, to reserve a seat at the summit by calling 239-0679 or e-mailing pattie.mayhew@riley.army.mil
