The Missouri Independent reports:
Developers planning to expand a Kansas City facility manufacturing nuclear weapons components will get a break on sales tax under legislation Gov. Mike Parson signed Monday. Parson held a signing ceremony at the site, currently a gravel lot across from the National Nuclear Security Administration’s south Kansas City campus. The expansion is expected to cost more than $3 billion and add more than 2 million square feet of space to the campus.
Lawmakers present Monday predicted the expansion would add about 2,000 high-paying jobs in south Kansas City. “To have that kind of investment anywhere in the state, especially here, is a big deal for the entire state and a big deal for this community,” Parson said. Proponents of the tax break say the facility needs to expand to accommodate work the NNSA will need to modernize and refurbish the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile.
