The Goddard City Council has approved a series of tax incentives for a major housing expansion at the Genesis Sports Complex. The project, led by Goddard Housing LLC, will add 72 new apartment units in a second phase of development at the complex.

Under the approved agreement, the developer will receive property tax exemptions and sales tax breaks on construction materials. City officials said the incentives are necessary to make the project financially viable and to address a growing demand for rental housing in the area.

The new apartments are expected to cater to a mix of tenants, including families and young professionals. The Genesis Sports Complex already serves as a regional hub for youth tournaments and community events, and the additional housing is seen as a way to support that activity.

Construction is slated to begin later this year, with completion expected within 18 to 24 months. The city council voted unanimously in favor of the tax breaks, citing the project's potential to boost local economic activity and provide much-needed housing stock. No further details on rental pricing or unit sizes were released.
