Garden City TIF District Moves Forward Amid Local Debate
Merchants oppose a 5.3 million first phase funding plan by creating a tax increment financing district in Garden City. City officials say the district will keep current property tax liability for 20 years to repay bonds for a retail project while other taxing entities may object within a 20 day window. County and USD 457 officials weigh in, with some commissioners sympathetic and a next meeting set to address potential objections and appeal timelines.

Garden City okays 2012 15 tech plan and boundary shifts
The Garden City school board unanimously approved the 2012 15 technology plan and approved boundary changes affecting five elementary schools and two intermediate centers Charles Stones and Bernadine Sitts. The district plans to balance enrollment and support growth after an analysis showing some schools would have too many students if boundaries remained unchanged. Superintendent Rick Atha said about 150 of 3 500 students will be affected and stressed continued neighborhood school attendance despite stress from moves.
