My ex FIL was pretty big in Joplin and having my sister live there from 84-99 and me off and on for 3 years 91-96 98-00 05-08 My kids still live there Joplin had a chance to have the Mavericks hockey team but choose not to. City council has always been in shambles. The school district is trying to regain trust
Sad but true

Discuss Dad said the same thing... well before the tornado hit. It's economically stagnant given the few locally headquartered businesses that have a national reach beside Leggett & Platt and maybe Tamko. Everything is chain or franchise service industry spots and a few small businesses.
And it doesn't look like there's going to be any small business growth in Joplin -or any town of a similar size- in the future.
