Public to discuss future land-use scenarios for Greater Kansas City at meetings Feb. 3, 4, 11 and 17
To predict future travel needs, we have to forecast how many people and jobs will be located in Greater Kansas City — and where — in the coming decades.
Community meetings will be hosted around the region on Feb. 3, 4 and 11, from 7–8:30 p.m., to discuss future land-use scenarios under consideration for Transportation Outlook 2040 that show alternate ways of accommodating overall growth. The city of Leavenworth is hosting an additional public meeting on Feb. 17 from 6:30–8 p.m.

Rethinking how we build our future community
Adaptive growth scenario connects activity centers and travel corridors at a regional scale
The adaptive growth scenario illustrates the impact of taking to a regional scale the kinds of activity centers area governments seem to be planning.
To predict future travel needs, we have to forecast how many people and jobs will be located in Greater Kansas City — and where — in the coming decades.
The region's Technical Forecast Committee has combined local
comprehensive plans and produced future growth scenarios for Transportation
Outlook 2040 that show alternate ways of accommodating expected growth
and development. Pursuing a more adaptive growth scenario in response to
complex challenges facing the region could help us make a profound shift.
But how far and how fast can we realistically move?

Security grant opportunity for nonprofits
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) provides $19,000,000 in funding support for target hardening activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of terrorist attack. While this funding is provided specifically to high-risk nonprofit organizations, the program seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. It is also designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, state and local government agencies, and Citizen Corps Councils. The state of Missouri will host a workshop on January 20 at 9 a.m. at MARC to provide information regarding the grant opportunity and to answer any questions. More»
