City of Maize Updates

Here are a few updates on some Maize happenings from your Administrator:

  1. MAIZE ROAD IMPROVEMENT:
    LaFarge Construction Inc. was selected as the contractor for the Maize Road improvement project. They have 310 working days to complete the new $10,000,000, five-lane, curb and gutter-street, from 45th Street to K-96 highway. The utility relocations are finished and all permits are in place. The pre-construction and public meetings have been held and construction is getting under way!

    Everyone can expect some inconveniences during the construction phases. The City is making a concerted effort to keep everyone informed as to traffic flow, and/or lack of. There will be times when Maize Road will be shut down completely in order to raise the Rail Road tracks and to upgrade storm water drainage. However, the majority of time, traffic will flow in some limited manner. Detour and directional signs will be in place to assist drivers in getting to their destinations.
    While during the construction period it will be challenging, the improvement will enrich our city, provide enhanced safety and upgrade the quality of living in Maize.

    If you have questions check out our web site or TV channel 20 or just give us a call here at city hall. Thank you in advance for your patience.

  2. DEVELOPMENT UPDATE:

    • Currently fourteen (14) new housing permits have been issued for 2012 and these homes are under construction.

    • The new sixty-eight (68) unit upscale Watercress Village condo complex is well underway.

    • The third phase of the Field Stone Apartments located at 5050 N. Maize Rd is approaching completion.

    • The new Assembly of God state headquarters and training facility is being constructed on Walker Street east of Wichita State university west campus.

    • A new O’Reilly Auto Parts store will begin construction south of the Goodwill store on Maize Road.

    • An upscale apartment complex, with quality of life amenities, will begin construction west and south of 119th and 37th Streets.

  3. STAFF RECOGNITION:
    I want to recognize and compliment the Maize City employees. I’ve had the privilege of serving as the lead administrator, here in Maize, for over eleven years now. During this time period the city has grown and expanding more than in all of its combined previous 115 years.

    While limited in numbers the staff, in every area of city operations, has met the challenges. Service demands, across the board, continue to increase whether it is administration, courts, police or public works. Maize is blessed to have quality personnel who are dedicated to their profession. Any organization is only as good as the personnel that make it up. We have a wonderful team; my thanks to them all!

Respectfully,

Richard LaMunyon
City Administrator
