Shawnee County commissioners killed a proposal Thursday to create a tax-increment financing district to encourage development in south Topeka after being told a mistake by the city was forcing the process to start over.
Commissioners Vic Miller, Shelly Buhler and Ted Ensley voted 3-0 to prevent establishment of the district, which could have taken effect at the end of a 30-day period on May 28 if not rejected by the county commission or any of the three school districts involved.
Miller said the proposed TIF district would have been legally invalid because it included property in two school districts the city failed to notify.
Leave it to the city to botch this thing up. Seems like all to common an occurrence, doesn't it?
