Kansas City, Kansas - Serious Opportunities

Kansas City, KS sits across the River from Kansas City, MO. It has had a rough history of steel works that have closed down. It is a Rustybelt Community long given up for dead. Well, it isn't going to be dead for long.

Google has announced that it is setting up a new headquarters in little. Blue Collar, Kansas City, KS. General Motors is still the largest, private employer in town and it is not soon that the City will shake off the "lower than average Median Income" image that has plagued it. Still, the new Village West development with more than 110 businesses, lots of new housing, and some strong local employment is making such a rapid recovery that it has caught the eye of demographers and business planners from all over.

When we see a community that is willing to keep taxes low, and welcomes major employers, we have to say that it is a good indication of future success. We believe that many existing practices will get a shot in the arm and we also believe that there is room for new potential start-ups in the next two years.

It is worth checking out.
