Held at an auditorium at Missouri Southern State University, government officials, hospital managers, business people and residents alike were invited to speak at this unique meeting.
Prior to the meeting, the Missouri state Rep. Bill White told The Joplin Globe that he hoped that commercial property owners could receive the same temporary tax holiday as residential owners do in the event of a disaster. Specifically, residential property owners currently do not have to pay county property taxes while their place of residence is not occupied. The argument is that commercial property owners should not have to pay taxes on a property that is currently not producing the owner any income.
