Even Overland Park feels pandemic’s economic pain. Will it force change on taxes? 

If any city were immune to the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic, you might think it would be Overland Park. The city proudly noted in its 2020 budget document that Money magazine in 2018 named it one of the Best Places to Live, “based on great schools, low crime, shopping and restaurant options, healthcare access and a strong job market.” In 2018, the city boasted $800 million in public and private investments, a record, and 2019 wasn’t far behind.
