The Carroll City Council pressed a representative from the new owners of the Fairview Village Apartments during their meeting last night (Monday) on the development group’s plans to return its 72 units to the community’s housing stock. MW Capital Group 2 purchased all but one of the buildings in the complex earlier this year and plans to invest nearly $800,000 into the property, interior and exterior. Dalton Hansen, MW Capital’s representative, attended Monday’s meeting to address the council’s concerns about the complex’s future. MW Capital Group applied for housing tax credits from the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) to help finance those renovations, but their application was denied due to a lack of a resolution of financial commitment to the project from the council. One of the council’s issues with the prior owners was Fairview’s enrollment in the USDA’s rural housing programs. Hansen says MW Capital plans to withdraw from that, but it takes time.
