SAINT ROBERT, Mo. (March 15, 2010) — For now, the Plattner Community Improvement District is expected to generate only a small amount of revenue, but St. Robert City Attorney Kevin Hillman says both the developers and city officials have high hopes for its future. “The typical yearly projected budget figure is a little over $20,000, but that depends on whether something comes in,” Hillman said. “When they did the original transportation district, it was small to start with and now it is big budgets.” That “original transportation district” is a reference to the North Town Village/Interstate Plaza Transportation District, which covers the Wal-Mart and St. Robert Boulevard area northwest of Exit 161 on Interstate 44. Revenue from a special sales tax in that district has paid for major street improvements and other infrastructure, and that’s been key to much of the recent economic development of St. Robert.
