HNI Corporation has donated several parcels of land to the City of Muscatine, supporting the city’s ongoing efforts to expand and develop housing opportunities for residents, a news release says.
The donation provides the city with strategically located land that will be considered for future residential development projects, helping to address community growth, housing needs, and neighborhood revitalization. City leaders and HNI Corporation representatives expressed excitement over the collaboration and the potential benefits to the Muscatine community.
“HNI Corporation has long been a committed partner in the Muscatine community,” said Matt Mardesen, city administrator for the City of Muscatine. “This generous donation represents an important step toward increasing housing options and supporting sustainable growth in our city.”
“HNI Corporation is proud to contribute to Muscatine’s future in a meaningful way,” said Jeff Lorenger, president and CEO of HNI Corporation. “Through this donation, we aim to support the city’s vision for housing development and its impact on the well-being of current and future Muscatine residents.”
The City of Muscatine will review plans for the parcels and work with local stakeholders to determine the best approach for future housing initiatives that align with the city’s long-term development goals.
The parcels, located off University Drive in Muscatine, has the potential for development of a subdivision that would include townhomes and single-family homes of various sizes. The development would be completed in three phases over the course of several years. Once the transfer of ownership is complete, the City of Muscatine will develop and publish a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking potential developers for the project.
