State auditors: Overland Park’s Prairiefire could default on $64.8M in bonds
Auditors working with the Kansas Legislature said that a recent analysis of Overland Park’s Prairiefire mixed-use development’s STAR (sales tax revenue) bonds issued in 2012 won’t generate enough to repay debts in the required 20-year period.
