The Link which was fully leased prior to completion offers residents close access to transportation, the senior center, TECH Art Studio and Gallery, the Fox Theater, and so many shopping and dining experiences.  Through TECH’s relationship with Manske & Associates, this affordable housing complex was developed to provide opportunities for people of all abilities to continue to make downtown Hutchinson a great place to live, work, and play.
