Innovative Housing Project

In partnership with the City of Benkelman and the City of Cambridge,
MEDC was awarded a $405,000 state Department of Economic Development grant in 2019 as a part of
the innovative housing project. The three entities are using the money to create a revolving new
construction project to pay for construction of the home, acquire and prepare a vacant lot, then sell the
home and have the money go back into the revolving fund for new construction. Benkelman has
completed their first home and it up for sale. MEDC has signed a contract with Wardcraft for a second
home to be built and placed in McCook in March of 2022. After one of the homes is sold, Cambridge will
be building the third home.
