Stantec, in partnership with the Flint Hills Regional Council and the City of Manhattan, are embarking on a four-month planning study for an area at the southeast corner of the intersection of Anderson Avenue and Seth Child Road. As this study is underway, we are actively seeking community feedback and we welcome your interest in this project. Follow along to learn more about the site, stay up to date with our process, and get involved today! What is the Plaza West Areawide Study? Project Background: In 2018, the Flint Hills Regional Council (FHRC) received a $600,000 US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfield Assessment grant. This no-match funding can be used to identify, prioritize, assess, and develop plans for brownfield sites located throughout the member communities represented by FHRC.<div class="fr-img-space-wrap"><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/23ad493a96ae37858c5e74e364a7a92ff275e1d1/original/1620312963/cc8eda73bdf75ab0f8299f5c3179c01c_Regional_Map.jpg?1620312963">Location of Flint Hills compared to Manhattan and greater Kansas </div>A brownfield site is defined by the EPA as any property where the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Examples of these sites include but are not limited to former filling stations, industrial sites, buildings constructed prior to the 1980s, or properties where vehicles or hazardous substances may have been stored. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties:<ul><li>Increases local tax bases</li><li>Facilitates job growth</li><li>Utilizes existing infrastructure</li><li>Takes development pressures off of undeveloped/open land</li><li>Both improves and protects the environment</li></ul><div class="fr-img-space-wrap"><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/f1e2e65ec5623a53bc20b99f3502bcb4df33af5c/original/1620312537/f2a2b4a6ef3f3cd79688fa4dfbc5a46f_Brownfield_and_Remidiation.jpg?1620312537">Image left: brownfield site with contaminants, right: remediated site as a community asset The intent of the EPA Brownfield grant is to:</div><ul><li><div style="background-color: rgb(100.000000%, 100.000000%, 100.000000%);">Focus on sites with the greatest redevelopment potential</div></li><li><div style="background-color: rgb(100.000000%, 100.000000%, 100.000000%);">Encourage site reuse projects (infill development)</div></li><li><div style="background-color: rgb(100.000000%, 100.000000%, 100.000000%);">Transform underutilized properties into community assets</div></li><li><div style="background-color: rgb(100.000000%, 100.000000%, 100.000000%);">Restore the environment and protect human health</div></li></ul><div style="background-color: rgb(100.000000%, 100.000000%, 100.000000%);">As a member of the Flint Hills Regional Council, Manhattan has an opportunity to gain access to this grant funding. This funding creates an opportunity to explore benefits to residents and property owners including identification of community assets, tracking of market trends, and identification of redevelopment opportunities in the study area west of Seth Child Road and south of Anderson Avenue.</div> Site Selection: Stantec and Flint Hills Regional Council worked closely with the City of Manhattan, Kansas to identify brownfield sites in the city that may benefit from environmental assessments and land use planning activities. The area referenced as &#39;Plaza West&#39; was quickly recognized by the City as a priority location due to its visibility, ongoing flooding concerns, and recent interest in further study by the academic and private development communities. (see Previous Plans and Studies of Plaza West for more information)<div class="fr-img-space-wrap"><grammarly-extension data-grammarly-shadow-root="true" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; pointer-events: none;" class="cGcvT"></grammarly-extension><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/5c4a8379d66e172852def2c63da3202b8bc982fa/original/1620316972/715aa8a0a9416aa9f331bf891ec7179d_Site_Map.jpg?1620316972">Image left: Plaza West site in relation to Manhattan, right: layout of site (buildings on the lower right since demolished) Site Concerns: Plaza West is a commercial corridor located near the southeast corner of Anderson Avenue and Seth Child Road. The Linear Park Trail, running along Wildcat Creek, and numerous residential neighborhoods also border the study area. Currently, this site has a series of retail strip buildings hosting a variety of small to big-box sized businesses and a few stand-alone businesses. This area is an ideal destination with connections to the neighborhoods west of Seth Child Road and Kansas State University less than two miles east on Anderson Avenue. However, several challenges currently exist within the Plaza West study area that will continue to impact its redevelopment potential. The south end of the site has lower elevations that are susceptible to major, repeated flooding events, including the 2018 flood, that contributed to the demolition of several buildings near the southern portions of the site. Also, a majority of the site is underutilized due to large parking lots dominating the area and infill redevelopment opportunities may exist to further increase activity levels throughout the study area.</div><div class="fr-img-space-wrap"><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/87e0e18288a12a632842e584544b72d5055d383c/original/1620317183/9c146a4a04b8a1bc6880e97926d94f13_Flooding_KCTV5.jpg?1620317183">Flooding of Wildcat Creek (KCTV5, 2018) </div>Project Goals: The <span style="color: rgb(65, 65, 65); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Plaza West Areawide Study is an exciting opportunity for the City and community to envision feasible development options for the revitalization and reinvestment of this study area.
