Impact analysis
The city forgoes tap, water, sewer, and permit fees in exchange for a $19 million renovation of a long-vacant retail anchor.
Shoppers on the west end of Southaven get a new farm and outdoor retailer, and nearby businesses benefit from added traffic.
Residents could be harmed if rapid growth drives up housing costs or strains roads and services faster than the city can respond.
