‘Mystical’ medical clinic on
the way to Parkville
ALDERMEN FRUSTRATED BY LACK OF DETAILS

by Valerie Verkamp
Landmark reporter

The construction of a “mystical” medical clinic will soon be underway in the Parkville Commons.

On Tuesday night, Sean Ackerson, assistant city administrator and community development director, presented an overview of the significant changes proposed to the Parkville Commons Campus Plan to the board of aldermen.

The amended plan to the medical clinic located in the Parkville Commons involves the construction of a two-story building that will host a medical center quite unique from its counterpart.

The new plans call for a 16,100 square feet medical facility complete with a demonstration kitchen where “chef healthy samples” will be prepared. The interior design of the building will be a non-conventional medical clinic, which will resemble more of a spa than a standard medical office space. For more on story.


Nothing is off the table

No decisions have yet been made, including apparently any decision on a suggestion to lower the amount of the half cent park tax while at the same time creating a law enforcement tax.

That’s the latest in the continuing saga surrounding budget challenges--present and future--at Platte County,

A week ago at a hearing during which the 2012 county budget was adopted in front of a packed meeting room, associate commissioners Kathy Dusenbery and Jim Plunkett both remarked that they have no interest in revisiting the half cent park tax, which was approved for another 10 years by voters in August of 2009.
