The City of Emporia approved a resolution to establish a public hearing that would potentially create a community improvement district at the Emporia West Plaza during a Wednesday meeting of the city commission. The CID would impose an additional 2% sales tax for the stores located at 1312 Industrial Rd., including Tractor Supply Co., Dollar General, Rent-A-Center, Boost Mobile, Ichiban Asian Bistro, Metro by T-Mobile, Taekwondo, Oriental Massage, and House of Ma Restaurant, and the upcoming El Rio Bravo Supermarket. Special Projects Director Tayler Wash said the CID would include improvements of parking facilities, infrastructure improvements, landscaping, lighting, utilities and more. The public hearing is set for April 3.
