Lincoln City boss hints at possible departure of star midfielder. Read more about the club's challenges.

Lincoln City boss, Michael Skubala, has raised concerns about the future of the club as midfielder Ethan Erhahon's departure looms large this summer. The 22-year-old Scottish player has been a standout performer, leaving fans anxious about his potential exit. Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a Lincoln man caused a stir by breaking into a family fun center and taking a go-kart for a joy ride, highlighting the quirky escapades in the city.

On the other hand, Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird shared promising news about Lincoln's affordable housing initiative. The city aims to provide 5000 new affordable housing units, with progress indicating a positive trajectory. However, amidst the progress, a child care center closure has left parents scrambling for alternative solutions, showcasing the challenges faced by families in the community.

In a bid to support lower-income residents, Lincoln officials have highlighted the efforts to create affordable housing options. With rental rates specified between $640 and $872, the city's approach includes incentives like tax-increment financing to spur construction. Additionally, the closure of a long-standing child care center adds a poignant touch to the city's evolving landscape.

Despite setbacks, Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird remains optimistic about Lincoln's affordable housing goals. With over 2000 units already in place, the city is on track to achieve its target of 5000 affordable rental units by 2030. As the community zips towards this ambitious objective, Lincoln's urban development continues to reflect a mix of challenges and triumphs, shaping the city's future.
