Burg Council Denies IRBs
Williamsburg council votes 4 to 1 against issuing Industrial Revenue Bonds for Charles Gasaway's restaurant service station complex at 1-35 interchange. The vote followed an executive session then a public session to correct an illegal secret-ballot action. Gasaway plans to resume stock sales and pursue funds while remodeling seeks a first-year start, hoping lower interest rates aid the project. Local business owners worry about impact on existing stations and stores as council members discuss water supply, septic plans, and bond risks. The story expands to Kansas tax scenarios, noting potential big mill increases if livestock and inventory exemptions are adopted, with Derby, Elwood, and Clearwater highlighted.
