Roeland Parkers on Nov. 3 approved a special sales tax that will fund the city’s infrastructure projects beginning in 2024. The question — which asked if the city should replace its one quarter of one percent sales tax with a new half percent sales tax — gained approval from nearly 60% of voters, according to Johnson County’s unofficial election results. Roeland Park Mayor Mike Kelly said the city will ensure the funds collected are used efficiently. “We’re very grateful that the people of Roeland Park trust us to represent this community, and we appreciate their support of our plan to utilize these additional resources,” Kelly said. “We will ensure they are put to good use.”
