Life Church(Edmond)

While I like this development, Edmond is kind of selling its soul for this. Won't every inch of this be exempt from property taxes?

I hope this turns out to be a high-quality development for LC and Edmond, though.

All this property has been owned by life church and preceding church so there isn’t any change from what has been in past.

True, but it was mostly empty. Now they want to have 5 or 6 new buildings, which will take a toll on city infrastructure. And a hotel, which will not have to charge hotel and motel taxes, most likely. It is not anywhere near its purpose as a Church, and is bordering into taxable business income, which the church will have to pay tax on. Just my two cents.

They are a large nationwide non profit organization. The business offices will be for their own support operations. The hotel I expect will be for their own use for staff from around country coming into Main offices and for groups/speakers they host.

Not a life churcher or agree with their ways completely. Just stating my thoughts.
