‘Reverse Robin Hood syndrome’: Overland Park Council approves $200M tax break deal

Neighbors have fought the deal for more than five years.

But as Monday night’s Overland Park City Council meeting extended into Tuesday, residents learned they finally lost the battle — just barely. After four hours of discussion, the City Council approved a $200 million tax incentive deal for the redevelopment of the Brookridge Golf Course, northeast of Interstate 435 and Antioch Road.

Council members previously voted down the $2 billion development deal, which includes turning a portion of the golf course into luxury apartments, retail and offices.
