Texas Black Gold Wants To Bulldoze Plaza Black Sheep

You have to read what a Texas oil-rich outfit named the "Wilson Development Group (WDG)" seeks in giftwrap with virtually the last viable (spelled: affordable) area of the Country Club Plaza ("The Plaza").

That post is HERE- titled "Developers have Southmoreland Neighborhood in a TIF"- courtesy of future City Council member Mark Forsythe on his blog "The Kansas City Post."

The area in question is generally north of Cleaver (Brush Creek) Boulevard- east of Main- along and south of 46th Street and west of Oak and Warwick.

Get this- WDG wants tax-increment financing or TIF (corporate welfare) to bulldoze the well-kept but affordable apartment buildings that cover this area and build a "luxury hotel" and other crap there.

This proposal SHOULD be 'Ha-Ha'ed off the Council's table but we'll see....

NEXT: A weather bulletin for all the Kansas City MetroRegion.
