Blighted Midtown

Post by Steve52 »

Any comments, statements, wisdom or enlightenment on this deal?

Is midtown Kansas City ‘blighted’? Developers seeking tax breaks are trying to convince the city it is.

Are we using Romaneli as the standard for blighted?

This would make sense between Troost and Prospect, but this is centered on Main. The steetcar coming down Main is all the incentive this area needs to get redevelopment going.

-The use of century old buildings as a blighting factor sucks and should be changed.
- Ellington's quotes are bizarre.
