Garden City eyes 160000-square-foot retail hub to boost region
City officials weigh a 20-year tax increment financing plan to fund the Garden City project, aiming to close a 13 million gap and attract a 160,000-square-foot big box store plus four smaller retailers. The plan would use future property taxes and utility revenues to repay bonds, with street and utility work estimated at about 4 to 5 million, and potential state aid through KDOT. Collett & Associates, a broker with Oklahoma and other states, would supply tenants though names are not disclosed.
