THE TOWERS HOUSING DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations were made according to feedback received and data collected showing both a need and opportunity for the development of higher density housing within Indianola. The 6th Street Sub-Area provides a great opportunity for this housing as it’s location is ideal, due to the commercial to the west and single-family residential to the east.

• Encourage the development of multi-family residential such as row-houses or duplexes along N 6th Street.

• Encourage the development of lower-density apartment buildings (20 units or less per acre).

• Work to reduce housing barriers for current and future residents.

• Consider acquiring the lot on the corner of N 6th Street and E Iowa Avenue and sell to developer looking to do multi-family residential.
