FORT SCOTT — It was a dilemma Rachel Pruitt had seen before.

A young professional couple was hoping to relocate to Fort Scott, and quickly.

But their search for a place to live was anything but encouraging.

“There just wasn’t anything that suited them,” said Pruitt, Fort Scott’s director of economic development. “They almost had to get a place in Pittsburg and commute.”

Their golden ticket came in the form of a small home, one of four newly constructed 783-square-foot rental houses at the intersection of Sixth and Lowman streets.

The “tiny” homes, built by RII Concrete Construction, were snapped up as quickly as they were finished earlier this month.
