Address: 3846 SW TOPEKA BLVD Topeka, KS 66609

3846 SW TOPEKA BLVD, Topeka, KS 66609 is an exciting opportunity for redevelopment in the Topeka Boulevard area! A 1.41-acre parcel of land located next to the brand new KTA (Kansas Turnpike Authority) Offices. The area's renaissance, described as larger than the day Jack Wylie sold White Lakes Country Club to the mall developers to build White Lakes Mall, indicates significant growth and development.

In terms of financing and incentives for redevelopment, a CID (Community Improvement District) and TIF (Tax Increment Financing) options are available.

A Community Improvement District (CID) is a specific geographical area where additional taxes, known as CID taxes, are imposed on businesses and properties within the district. The revenue generated from these taxes is then allocated towards financing public infrastructure, improvements, and other economic development initiatives within the CID.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a financing mechanism that allows municipalities to use future increases in property tax revenues from a designated area to finance current infrastructure improvements or other public projects within that same area. In essence, the increase in property taxes resulting from the redevelopment is used to repay the debt incurred for the improvements.

These financing tools can help attract investors and developers and end users to the area, making it more appealing for redevelopment projects. It would be advisable to consult with a local economic development agency or city officials to explore the specific CID and TIF opportunities available for the Topeka Boulevard area. They can provide you with more information on the application process, eligibility criteria, and potential benefits associated with these programs.

Overall, with the prime location of the land near the new KTA Offices and the ongoing renaissance in the Topeka Boulevard area, combined with the availability of CID and TIF options, this seems like a promising opportunity for redevelopment.

We will ask the City of Topeka to Study the Chipotle traffic studies that must be on file. If we ask nicely, the experts can extrapolate findings favorably to issue a pass for a permit.

For Wildhorse - GABE & Julie - Great overland Station?

 Look at the hours - Nikki is a good friend, and her dad is pitching the Idea. (in the morning) 

The offer should be to put a Bar in the station and agree to operate the bar for all private events.

Book every Friday and Saturday for 5 years 




Built in 1927, the building now serves as a museum celebrating Topeka’s rich history as well as a special event and meeting venue. Visitors to the museum can learn about area railroads including the Santa Fe/BNSF, Union Pacific, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad. They can learn about the history of the site from the Oregon Trail, Pappan’s Ferry crossing, and the birthplace of U.S. Vice President Charles Curtis. The BNSF Plaza includes the Corridor of Flags and All Veterans Memorial honoring our nation’s veterans and active military.

Great Overland Station brings Topeka's railroad heritage to life through photographs, special exhibits, and costumed docents. There are many activities for children to do and things to see. There are two simulator's that are hands on. One is an older style, and another is more recent which allows children to use the controls and pretend they are driving the engine. In "Exploration Station" there is a train table where children can rearrange the train cars; a coloring table with trains for tracing, and pictures for coloring and a play table with books and activities for the children to use. The "Big Red Caboose" is a great experience too. It is "child size" so they can experience the hand brakes, the tables and chairs, and more.

History

Great Overland Station began as a Union Pacific railroad passenger station on January 27, 1927. Along the way, it survived floods, was remodeled for railroad offices, was abandoned in 1988, and was damaged by fire in 1992. Railroad Heritage, Inc. leased the building from the Union Pacific Railroad to prevent the building's demolition.

Union Pacific Corporation donated the station to Topeka Railroad Days, Inc. six years later, and the Great Overland Station Project Team was established to direct efforts to preserve the station and transform it into a railroad heritage museum. In June 2004, The Great Overland Station opened its doors.

The Great Overland Station is quite beautiful, and this is a spectacular special event space, but Great Overland Station is still building toward its potential. Other than the structure itself, the biggest attraction is the 100 or so freight trains that pass the building daily. Perhaps more can be done with Topeka's connection to the Harvey House restaurant chain.

Harvey House Luncheons and tours of the Great Overland Station are available to groups with advance reservations.
