June 23rd | A 50-acre tract of land south of the Joplin Regional Airport could soon be housing hundreds of families who lost their homes in the May 22 tornado.
The property, owned by the city of Joplin, would be developed into a large, temporary site for hundreds of Federal Emergency Management Agency manufactured housing units, currently staged at Camp Crowder in Neosho.
Twin projects on the property will be developed simultaneously and joined by a large playground area. One section of the project will host 152 mobile units, the other 196 units. Construction will be contracted through the Army Corps of Engineers, and although the timeline could vary, FEMA officials hope work could begin within a week. As of Tuesday morning 624 families had requested aid from FEMA in finding a place to live.
