Independence, Missouri Developer Seeks Incentives While Raytown School District Protests

IAS Partners, LLC has requested assistance in the form of incentives from the City of Independence, Missouri, with the help of Thomson Walker, LLC. The Developer seeks to rehabilitate the former Blue Ridge Cinema property by adding retail users, including Burlington Coat Factory.

Despite protests by the Raytown School District, the Independence City Counsel approved the Developer’s request for a Tax Increment Financing Amendment.
