| 7 Highway Corridor |
Blue Springs has three north-south corridors connecting to Interstate 70.
7 Highway is the principal highway corridor supporting traffic through Blue
Springs. It handles between 27,000 and 34,000 vehicles each day depending
upon the intersection location located along 7 Highway.
This highway corridor has also faced challenges over the past 15-20 years
as its retail properties have matured and in some cases relocated elsewhere
in Blue Springs. To address these challenges, the City of Blue Springs has
been committed to supporting appropriate property redevelopment, which in
the past 2 years has resulted in many new redevelopment projects such as
Copperleaf Village, Taco Bueno, Village Gardens, Park Plaza, Starbucks, First
National Bank of Missouri, and Subway, to name a few.
Two projects to date have received incentive assistance through either Tax
Increment Financing or Chapter 353 redevelopment assistance: Copperleaf
Village and Village Gardens, whereas the market brought the other projects
forward based upon sound redevelopment fundamentals, high traffic counts,
good visibility and ample parking.
