City rushing to get trailer park land deal done

Port Washington aldermen on Tuesday agreed to negotiate an agreement with Horizon Development, which wants to buy the former trailer park on South Spring Street that’s owned by the city and construct a 40-unit senior apartment building there.

The development company, which plans to create affordable housing by using tax credits from the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, hopes to reach an agreement with the city in the next 10 days so it can meet the deadline to apply for other funding for the project.
