The De Soto City Council postponed a decision on creating a 6,009-acre tax increment financing district that would help redevelop a portion of the long-mothballed Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant. The council voted Thursday evening to meet Jan. 11 to discuss the annexation; the meeting will be open to the public but not accept comments. On Jan. 20, the council will hold a public hearing on the TIF district. The 9,000-acre, widely contaminated former ammunition plant, just off Kansas Highway 10 in western Johnson County, has defied redevelopment since it shut down in 1992.
