The boundary for redevelopment efforts on the former Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant in De Soto could be expanded soon. On Thursday, the De Soto City Council will consider an amendment to the city’s predevelopment agreement with Sunflower Redevelopment Group to annex additional property into the city limits. In November, the City Council approved the annexation of roughly 6,000 acres within the former ammunition plant. Now, the developer is requesting the city annex an additional 2,800 acres — or about 2,100 football fields of land — south of 127th Street on the 9,000-acre former ammunition plant property.
