This will be a multi-series of bonds to be issued to cover land, and the building costs. This development is located near the NWQ of 159th Street and Clare Road.

§ $48,000 in year one, growing to $74,464 in year ten

o Olathe = $38,750 annually / $387,500 10-year total
o Olathe’s current annual property tax revenue from the property is $6,936
