Reflection of Joplin
This is critical to business retention and recruitment efforts. When a professional or company is looking at Joplin for potential relocation, they look at quality of life. Included in quality of life is downtown — is it healthy and viable, or does it represent local disinterest and failure?
Historic Preservation
There are a number of incentives to downtown development, including historic tax credits. Want to contribute to the environment and sustainability? The greenest buildings are already built.
