Industrial Development Authority

Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-01-07, the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) of Parkville, Missouri has the power to issue industrial development bonds to facilitate the financing of qualified business projects within the limits of Parkville, Missouri. Project assistance may include the purchase, construction, extension and improvements of office buildings, hospitals, retirement facilities, warehouses, distribution facilities and industrial plants including the real estate, buildings and fixtures. The interest on the revenue bonds may be tax exempt, which results in a lower borrowing cost. The last project in Parkville was the 2016 refinancing of Park University’s 2007 debt related to a project that included improvements to dorms and sports facilities.

The City of Parkville is not responsible for the issuance of debt, but is required to authorize any issuance. Members of the IDA meet on an as-needed basis, but at least once a year to approve an annual report and contracts. The board consists of seven members who serve staggered, three-year terms.
