Jefferson City municipal government's list of properties and owners located within a proposed annexation area along U.S. 50 West.

The city is hoping to expand its borders, looking at possible areas of annexation on the west end of the city.

At the Annexation Committee meeting Thursday, which is now a committee of the whole, meaning all council members are included on the committee, staff presented five possible areas of annexation, all on the west end of the city.

Nathan Nickolaus, interim city administrator and city attorney, said the staff looked at five options in the same general area off Highway 50. Of the five options, the staff recommendation is for an area of 158.2 acres, which includes 27 housing units and two hotels. Included in the area is the Hampton Inn, Comfort Suites, J.C. Mattress Factory, a quarry, a turtle farm and the Meadows by the Club subdivision.

Wonder why the quarry on Stadium never got annexed. Wonder what the property and sales tax from that would be?

Turtle farm ?

wcywing 1 year, 6 months ago

is JC trying to increase the city population with a turtle farm? JC has enough problems trying to fix its own infrastructure, now they are trying to annex again?

WHAAAAT? They don't want Westview Heights too??? So confusing! And what's the fiscal impact? Will the tax revenue gain be wasted on adding more police, fire, and infrastructure? I smell grease on a palm.

Duh, they want the control the motels that raised such a ruckus about the lodging tax. They'll show em.... City better move the police station a little west if they want Westview, as that is where they will spend most of their time.

No support from me until they annex the quarry on Stadium.

That area is already within city limits.

How about Quail Valley on RT C? They could get Steves restaurant too.

Where is the turtle farm?

When you look at the map above, you will see in the lowest part of the pink area is a square-like shpare with a piece missing in the lower right part of it. That square-like shaped area is where the turtle farm is.

Thanks

you are welcome! Who knew one could raise turtles for a business venture - I am guessing that is what they do there since it is called a turtle farm...

Apparently Woody Guthrie had it all wrong.
