Mission Woods tables eminent domain action against Shawnee Mission Parkway building
“The Mission Woods City Council Tuesday tabled an ordinance that would have authorized condemnation proceedings against a building along Shawnee Mission Parkway. The move came after the building owners presented renovation plans and a structural report that shows the building is sound.
The building at 1968 Shawnee Mission Parkway has been vacant for approximately 10 years and has been a subject of the condemnation discussion since October. The land and building are owned by different entities. The two ownership entities said they did not learn about the condemnation action until December when a building permit process for the planned renovation began. The council had passed its first condemnation-related ordinance in early November.”
