Joplin City Council

The land at 1201. S Byers, where Vita Nova Village wants to construct its tiny housing community, was up for sale in April at a Jasper County Sheriff’s auction, however, no one bought it, and the city of Joplin took ownership of it.

The person chosen for the general seat will serve until April.

The new justice center would increase workspace and allow the department to hire a new forensics investigator. Due to a lack of space, JPD cannot currently hire this position. The new construction would also allow covered parking for the department's fleet of patrol cars, allowing both the cars and officers to be protected from severe weather and helping protect the vehicles from sleet, ice and snow.
