Joplin Tax Increment Financing Commission Meeting - April 27, 2023

The Joplin Tax Increment Financing Commission (TIF) met on April 27, 2023, at 11:45 AM to consider a proposed second amendment to the 32nd Street Place Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Plan. The amendment would reinstate a movie theater in redevelopment project area four, reverting to the originally contemplated use. The commission unanimously approved a resolution recommending approval of the amendment to the City Council.

Consent Calendar

  • Approval of Minutes: The minutes of the July 7, 2022 TIF Commission meeting were approved unanimously with no corrections or revisions. Motion by Mr. Alcorn (seconded by another commissioner).

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No members of the public offered comments during the public hearing.

Discussion Items

  • Second Amendment to the 32nd Street Place TIF Plan: Drew Snyder, representing the developer Woodsonia, presented the amendment. He noted that project area four (approximately 7–8 acres) was originally designated for a movie theater, then changed via the first amendment to multifamily, and now proposed to revert to a movie theater. The amendment is part of a multi-step public process.
  • Staff Comments: Chris Williams (city staff) provided background: The 32nd Street Place TIF was established December 28, 2020, with Woodsonia as developer. The first amendment (August 1, 2022) reconfigured project areas three and four to accommodate an apartment complex, deleting the theater. The second amendment (filed March 10, 2023) reinstates the theater with a revised site plan. No changes are made to the overall TIF project budget, reimbursable costs, or other land uses. Staff recommended adoption of a resolution recommending City Council approval.
  • Commission Questions: A commissioner asked about the theater location relative to a proposed Menards and existing apartment complex. The theater (approximately 37,000 square feet) is to be located east of Hammonds Boulevard, north of the apartment complex, with Menards across Times Boulevard to the west.
  • Exhibits Entered: Seven exhibits were entered into the record, including public hearing notices, original plan, enabling ordinances, first amendment, second amendment, and staff report.

Key Outcomes

  • Resolution Adopted Unanimously: The commission voted (all ayes, no opposition) to approve a resolution recommending that the Joplin City Council approve the second amendment to the 32nd Street Place Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Plan.
