The update highlighted Capital Holding Group’s expansion and new asphalt plant — described by staff as a nearly $30,000,000 investment that will create 29 direct jobs. Staff said JobsEQ labor-market modeling shows those 29 jobs will have downstream effects, positively affecting about 309 other jobs in the region and that, for every $1,000 in sales paid to Capital Holding Group, roughly $260 will be spent back into the local economy. \"I always want to highlight that economic development is a team sport,\" said Kristen, a Show Me Christian County staff member, describing coordination among county, city and state partners on the project. Staff said the project began in May of last year and includes multiple development phases.

Staff also reviewed the Smile Center project, which they said represents a $3,500,000 investment and will create seven direct jobs; using the project’s internal multiplier, staff said the net local job effect is roughly nine positions. The Smile Center was described as a headquarters and regional draw that will serve clients from nearby communities.

On retail development, staff summarized the Ozark Marketplace proposal: a 26-acre site with about 20 acres for buildout and six acres reserved for oversized water detention. They said the board of aldermen recently approved an incentive package for the project and that retail tenants publicly announced so far include Aldi, which staff said is expected to open before the end of the year. Staff estimated the marketplace could generate just over $2,000,000 in sales tax revenue for the county, though they said exact tenant lineups and timing remain fluid.

Staff discussed infrastructure and grants tied to multiple projects. They reported capital and state/federal dollars are associated with some work at the asphalt plant site and described a USDA-linked grant connected to Creative Audio’s property development. Staff said Creative Audio was a co-applicant on a grant that requires creation of 100 jobs across its companies within a five-year period; the grant timeline and program obligations were presented as the primary schedule driver for that project. Staff said the county has awarded the contract for related road work and that overpass and road improvements should begin in July.

Throughout the presentation staff emphasized collaborative roles for the county, the cities of Ozark and Nixa, utilities and state agencies in permitting, road and utility work and grant applications. Commissioners thanked staff and invited continued updates.

No formal action or vote was taken during the presentation besides the commission’s earlier approval of the consent agenda, which included placing sheriff’s office destruction of records on the record (see separate article).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Christian County Commission - 2025-04-24","oneSentenceSummary","Show Me Christian County staff updated the Christian County Commission on April 24 about recent business expansions and projects they said will create jobs and tax revenue over the coming years.","taxTitle","Christian County, Missouri","taxId",52859,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6260612,"Commission schedules town halls, Holder Road vacation hearings and library board selection process",0,1557210,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3130456-9c39f2c5173930ede64f8ffc582426eb&start=1557&end=1557","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3130456-9c39f2c5173930ede64f8ffc582426eb/thumbnail_1557210.jpg","/articles/6260612/Christian-County/Missouri/Commission-schedules-town-halls-Holder-Road-vacation-hearings-and-library-board-selection-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260612-634946a446671c2e739f0c79ef347836/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034649&Signature=HtigAuVirhinIZUXB2bipWOkXfp6gca6cZfK02H~Wgjxac7O84Gz6NTE3RhjaBaoQt5JIEfgB2ZVnq6ngJr9Nao4aFjvE3fHYJz17ImP6q2NTHjeZ4WLyfYiZ0dQ1f5hUhttiXzXaN~Dn51cEd5r59XwPc0zMRbrRi~I0uALQr2PQrWFC8w2Bh-no7WbWvHyRd7WFJe2CG1ZtC4DU5OA-Rv4Eu3WeZ~jdA8s9Imnrb6H8u-wTylYNVopv37bomRCr8AhsBOJyAEBuOucEuw1C6xDjhh13qiUGmzyjzk8SIn-4mWRP2gZrYoEI8JdQvV4sBLes7Wt1pq6OjfQ5zw4PQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During communications on April 24 the presiding commissioner announced a schedule of public listening sessions and administrative timelines for upcoming county business.

Town halls: The commission said it will hold a town hall on Thursday, May 8 at 6 p.m. at the White House Church in Marshfield (address given in the meeting), and another on a Saturday in May at Sparta City Hall at 9 a.m., with additional town halls tentatively scheduled in June. A Chadwick town-hall on May 29 was described as not yet confirmed. The commissioners described the sessions as listening posts where no votes will be taken.

Holder Road vacation: The commission set a public hearing on July 10 (to be held upstairs in the old courtroom) for the road vacation petition and said it will take a final vote on July 31. Commissioners said they will meet in early May with the full commission and Austin Fox, the county attorney, to determine hearing format and procedures and to notify the two parties and counsel of how the hearing will be conducted.

Library board selection: Commissioners discussed upcoming expirations on the library board of trustees and agreed to open applications in May, set applications due by June 1, schedule interviews in June and select a new member so the appointee can be sworn in at a July meeting. The commission referenced a special appointment made in December (Mary Hernandez DeCarl) that still appears on the commission web page and asked staff to update online materials.

Administration and staffing: Commissioners discussed short-term coverage while one commissioner is on vacation the following week (payroll week), assigning duties for payroll oversight, and improving the county website. The presiding commissioner asked that Carrie from human resources be given responsibility to update the website and receive board applications to ensure consistent processing. The commission noted the county currently lacks a full-time administrative assistant at that desk.

The presiding commissioner closed communications by thanking staff and reminding the public that the next meetings and hearing dates will be posted.","Christian County commissioners announced a series of public town halls in May and June, set dates for Holder Road vacation hearings in July, and outlined a June timeline for library board applications and interviews.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6260616,"Commission approves consent agenda; sheriff’s office to destroy scanned duplicate records",87,145345,232605,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3130456-9c39f2c5173930ede64f8ffc582426eb&start=145&end=232","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3130456-9c39f2c5173930ede64f8ffc582426eb/thumbnail_145345.jpg","/articles/6260616/Christian-County/Missouri/Commission-approves-consent-agenda-sheriffs-office-to-destroy-scanned-duplicate-records","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260616-1869b51cbe530b88e290679b2b77b35f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034649&Signature=XWHjZjhbam3oHVhTu6Ye7Asuly1OE0EzJn5LWkyU80oqFh7oM6QODAOrguK2PfMqyknNxhs80lZUUSqaEgsMGN8HiVm0FYeX5LmOYLyEkehvMWEyMcFneAyilP9vHmpvBua1i98EnxBkta8eLdem3T9KCFvClCqz0HS2gJWPqQs~3FBSOPSZP~UwzQUew7WpHh0W-KZC2OG68~pBq884p5J1CTVRqMfu03s14QSWCgjSf1KXQAlTABRpUk9De8Zt3y8rtOwreOjJSZMXdPT3hD-luAw4ntmBvDy8lid8pb35NPambV9SUojEIxsPdH1baHBz~CqHcb8Yg-cqhmvBGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Christian County Commission voted to approve the consent agenda at its April 24 meeting, a voice vote the presiding commissioner said passed.

The consent agenda included a financial item described as a certified court order (04-24-2025-01) and an item from the sheriff’s office seeking to destroy paper copies of records. A sheriff’s office representative told the commission that the documents in question have already been scanned into the department’s Ipro management system and that the remaining hard copies are duplicates. \"So everything that we have here, hard copies are just duplicates,\" the sheriff’s office presenter said while placing the records on the record for destruction.

A motion to approve the consent agenda was moved and seconded on the record; the presiding commissioner called for a voice vote, heard \"aye,\" and said the motion \"passes.\" The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally for that vote. Commissioners asked whether other elected offices were encountering storage issues; the sheriff’s office presenter said their Ipro repository does not have a storage problem.

Separately, the certified court order included on the financial portion of the consent agenda was identified by staff as \"04-24-2025-01.\" No further details about that court order were provided at the meeting.","Christian County Commission approved its consent agenda April 24.
