De Soto’s City Council unanimously approved a 5,877-acre tax increment financing district to help redevelop a portion of the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant. It also voted Thursday evening to re-annex 131.4 acres adjacent to, but outside the TIF district. Earlier this month, officials effectively dropped that land from an initial 6,376-acre annexation after learning it was titled to the Johnson County Park & Recreation District. But the district’s board of commissioners consented to the annexation Tuesday, resolving the procedural snarl.
