Development bonds approved for Menards

Menards is continuing in their efforts to bring one of their locations to Joplin. Woodsonia, a development company in Joplin, recently obtained City Council approval to establish a community improvement district excluding the Menards site. Creation of this district allows Woodsonia to collect an additional 1 cent in sales tax in the district to fund some of the work needed to establish the district. Menards is a family-owned company based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
