Angelo Gangai of Parkville Main Street, Inc. presented proposals to the Parkville Baord of Aldermen on how to make the Old Towne Market Community Improvement District (downtown Parkville area) more visible and accessible. Gangai said in order to make Parkville look a lot bigger than its population of 4,000-plus the group plans to market the city through print media, radio and signage He also said directional signage in surrounding areas like Zona Rosa and other areas north of the river could play a major role bringing in people who don’t know Parkville exists. Other proposals include burying power lines and installing kiosks to help visitors gain information about stores and services. If passed, the price tag for the proposals would be a one percent sales tax increase starting in January 2007. The extra one percent would only be charged on retail purchases made within the community improvement district.
Numerous incidents over the last two years brought the Weatherby Lake Board of Aldermen to publicly reprimand its mayor. The aldermen passed a resolution for censure after identifying numerous occasions when Mayor Mike Henderson did not consult with the board or directly opposed the board’s clear direction.
