Proposed Vitagraph Renovation/TIF Informational Meeting

Shirley Helzberg has caused quite a *tiff* in recent weeks with her Vitagraph Building renovation and proposed TIF in the Crossroads. Looks like she's having the neighborhood over for 'refreshments' so the Crossroads can see what's in store for her project.

Check out her invite (via e-mail from the Crossroads Community Association):

“Dear Neighbor,

By now you’ve probably read the article in the Kansas City Star about our efforts to renovate another historic building in the Crossroads neighborhood. We would appreciate the opportunity to personally present to you our exciting new development for the Vitagraph Building, 1703 Wyandotte, and our long term plans for 17th Street. In May, we plan to present to the TIF Commission the same plans, but first we’d like to show our neighbors. The renovation of the Vitagraph Building will serve as the new office headquarters for the Kansas City Symphony.

Please join us on Tuesday, April 29th at 5:00 at the Webster House, 1644 Wyandotte, so that we can share the facts of our project with you. Refreshments will be provided.We look forward to meeting with you. So that we know how many people to expect, please RSVP to Carla Corkran at Crcorkran@aol.com to let us know if you can attend.

Thank you very much,

Shirley Bush Helzberg”
