NEWS FROM THE CVB DIRECTOR
2 comments:
Randy, why are we spending tax dollars for drainage improvements in this area and to build a road to connect Mississippi and Arizona Avenues? Is it mainly to provide access for a 32nd Street medical office to Arizona Avenue and to protect a certain area from storm water runoff? (Maybe if we quit paving everything and allowed the natural wetlands to do their thing we wouldn't have as many drainage problems.) It appears that COUNCIL BILL NO. 2016-132 is for the benefit of an individual business and property owner and not the Joplin taxpayers. This is an unethical use of condemnation and taxpayer resources! I've heard that the city has already paid well over a quarter of a million dollars to a wealthy landowner/developer for their landlocked property as part of the project. The business should pay for access to Arizona Avenue out of their own pockets and not ours. But no, instead Joplin taxpayers are being forced to foot the bill!
COUNCIL BILL NO. 2016-132 is not for the good of Joplin residents as a whole and should be voted down!
I for one support the business/property owner who is being unfairly penalized for owning and improving their property on Arizona Avenue!
How is this landlocked piece of private property good for the residents of Joplin? Seriously, do we really need to condemn more privately owned property just to satisfy the needs of the wealthy? Are we catering to the Good Ol' Boys Network? How can a road behind what used to be a grocery store (is it even being used now?) that goes to Arizona Ave. even be justified with taxpayer dollars? Is Pediatric Partners helping to foot the bill? Is any property being condemned that belongs to Fellowship Baptist Church? Why do the residents of Joplin need this road? Really? Who is making money off of this deal? It is certainly not the taxpaying citizens of Joplin.
