BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. — Neighbors of a proposed Blue Springs upscale apartment/mixed use retail complex turned out in droves at a Blue Springs City Council meeting Monday to successfully defeat the project.

Homeowners said the high density apartments would have dramatically changed their neighborhood and was consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan for the area north of I-70 at Adams Dairy Parkway and Duncan Road.

Thanks, NIMBYs 🙄
