There will be a public hearing on January 14, 2013 to consider incentives to revitalize the Shawnee Parkway Plaza.
There is a good article about this at the Shawnee Dispatch's website

That shopping center which sits just east of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Pflumm Road is a mess.
As much as I dislike various incentive programs, this just might be an appropriate use of them.
This would be a virtual total makeover. Currently, there are problems not only with appearance, but with the integrity of the structures. Revitalizing a shopping center at that location can be beneficial to the city in the future. Couple that with some of the recent development that has occurred at the northwest section of that intersection and the whole area can become a magnet for increased financial gain for the city.
