(KAIR)--A step forward to a new restaurant opening in Atchison.
That followed Monday's Atchison City Commission meeting when KC Bell, a regional franchise for Taco Bell restaurants, was approved for a community improvement district.
Atchison Director of Public Works & Utilities Justin Pregont said KC Bell has acquired two properties on the northeast corner of Main and Tenth Street in Atchison and intends to demolish the existing structures to construct a Taco Bell.
In order to do that, KC Bell sought community improvement district to levy an additional 1 cent sales tax at the future Taco Bell location. Those proceeds will be returned to the developer for a maximum period of 20 years or $200,000 whichever is first.
Pregont said there will be no direct cost to the city approving the CID.
Following a public hearing with no comment, commissioners approved the community improvement district for KC Bell on an unanimous vote.
