OSWEGO — The city of Oswego may revisit its neighborhood revitalization plan in the coming weeks after Labette County commissioners asked about making NRP plans uniform across the county.
Commissioners discussed the plan that provides property tax rebates for improvements to residential and commercial structures within certain areas of Parsons, Oswego and Chetopa. These three communities are the only ones in Labette County that have NRP programs in place.
The city of Parsons has four neighborhood revitalization plans. One works for commercial properties in the northern part of the city in the area of the U.S. 400 and U.S. 59 junction. The older program will expire this year and allows commercial and residential property owners in specific areas to get 90% tax rebates on additional property tax tied to improvements. The third and fourth programs relate to historical structures. The NRP encourages property owners to build new structures or add to existing structures by giving them tax relief for five years.
