What projects are funded by the 2017 Park Sales Tax?
The City Council approved a list of projects to be funded by the 2017 Parks Sales Tax at the January 17, 2017 City Council meeting that gave authority to place the ballot question before the residents of Blue Springs.
Forty-six projects are specifically identified, whereas many others exist and may be funded should projects come in lower than projected or sales tax revenues exceed projections. No project will be added to the list of approved projects until a significant portion of the approved projects are completed and revenues provide adequate funding for all approved projects to be completed. These projects may come forward mid-way through the five-year dedicated tax program.
Links to more information on each respective capital improvement project are set up below as the projects become active in their respective funding fiscal year.
