Overview
- The Unified Government meets at 5:30 p.m. and the Olathe City Council at 6 p.m. Tuesday to take public comment on funding for a Wyandotte County stadium and an Olathe training campus, with a formal commission vote planned Thursday.
- Officials will weigh committing incremental sales taxes from the project districts via STAR bonds, which use new revenue rather than raising existing sales-tax rates.
- Unified Government documents identify the proposed stadium site at the northeast corner of 126th Street and State Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas.
- Olathe’s agenda details a proposed $300 million Chiefs headquarters and training facility near College Boulevard and Ridgeview Road, plus a financing district whose receipts would help repay project bonds.
- Nearby residents question taxes, timing, transparency and neighborhood changes, as Olathe stresses the meeting is only a pledge of potential revenue and that broader site decisions remain undecided.
