City of Maize Updates

City Manager Nicd Gregory

From the City Manager - May 2025

The City of Maize is buzzing with activity this season!  We've welcomed new staff members, enhanced our community engagement efforts and remain focused on delivering the high level of service our residents expect and deserve.  We're also exploring responsible ways to encourage future development while maintaining the character and quality of life that make Maize such a special place to live.

We ended last year with 240 new housing permits and are already on pace for another strong year, with 60 permits issued as of May 1st.  With this growth comes challenges - especially in infrastructure and traffic management.  Several housing developments are currently in progress and we're working diligently to ensure our city is ready to meet rising demands maintaining safety and quality of life.

We're also deepening our commitment to transparency and communication.  From live streaming City Council meetings to launching a new website this Fall, we're taking meaningful steps to keep you informed and involved.  You can subscribe to our live stream on YouTube @CityofMaizeKS to follow regular meetings and discussions.

Preparing for the Future: Citywide Sales Tax Proposal

As Maize continues to grow, so do the needs and expectations of our residents.  To help meet our infrastructure demands, the Maize City Council has placed a 1% citywide sales tax proposal on the ballot for the August 5, 2025 primary election.  The initiative reflects a balanced approach to infrastructure funding - one that ensures everyone who uses our roads, including commuters and shoppers, share in the cost through local purchases.
