Joplin City Council expected to approve plan to build Dairy Queen on 32nd Street

Joplin City Council will review plans to build a Dairy Queen at 2023 E. 32nd Street when it meets 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

The property is currently a vacant lot, according to the material provided to council members.

The restaurant footprint would cover approximately 2,600 square feet and seat 70. The review from the Planning and Zoning Commission indicates it would have adequate parking.

Restaurant officials told the Planning and Zoning Commission the restaurant would employ 40 people, with 15 of them working full time.

Has Joplin ever considered a healthy option? Americans are dying younger when compared to other rich nations. I think a lot of it has to do with the food we put into our bodies.

The problem I see with approval of this location is that Arvest Bank is located at 2023 E. 32nd. I guess you can use the drive up for a deposit and get a Peanut Buster Parfait

We need another fast food restaurant in Joplin-more minimum wage jobs.

Sure would be nice if the city would build some stuff in the North end of town.

9:23- I will disagree if you are asking for the fast food industry to infiltrate and pollute the north side of Joplin. Fast food increases garbage and an element of people we do not need hanging around. The north side of Joplin offers a healthy living environment with the Frisco trail, MSSU, Millenium Fitness, Rangeline Golf, Schiff Golf, Off roading areas, Theatre, even the Mall, and much better zoning consistencies as far as homes vs tariler parks, and apartments. Let them have the DQ, we will be just fine up here.

"homes vs trailer parks, and apartments"
Wow! Are you a snob or what?
Glad I am not your neighbor.
You probably think you are better than a certa8n "element" of people too.
News flash-you are not

603-Those are your words, not mine. I have been poor and do not wish to repeat the experience. But I will clarify for you. It is absolutely nothing against the people who rent or live in a trailer. It is about the upkeep of those properties by the owners and zoning. I am sure there are many renters who know what I mean here. It is not the renters fault if a property is allowed to go into disrepair.
The other thing, there are many areas of Joplin where people have built homes of a certain value (high end or low end, so dont get worked up) to raise a family and then the developer is magically allowed to build apartments, duplexes, etc directly next to a home. If you think that is snobbery, so be it, but a homeowner-especially a new home owner trying to build some equity- should not be undercut by such inconsistent zoning rules. Do your homework here. A home is most peoples biggest investment and for some without a pension it is a huge source of retirement. If you want to have a rental property next to your home, go for it. I will tend to be next to others with the same goals as mine.

603, Let me add one more thing. There are plenty of apartments, trailers, and duplexes on my side of town, but they are not jammed into neighborhoods against others will, those who were there first. The apartments near MSSU are an example or the trailer park at Zora and Main.
After the tornado a developer tried to force some low value homes into an area off of Zora. Many people protested this move as inconsistent. The people living directly next to the property strongly voiced opinions. None of it was snobbery. as you would say. They were concerned with the effect it would have on their property value. Who would not be? There was plenty of land available elsewhere for such a project and the council agreed and did not allow the project. I see many areas in Joplin with such zoning inconsistencies and I choose not be near any of that.
Sorry I have offended you.
