Local zoning codes have largely blocked the construction of “missing middle” housing – from duplexes to cottage courts to townhomes – for decades. However, these housing typologies offer a range of benefits to address the housing challenges our region is facing today, such as increased affordability, improved walkability, and better neighborhood integration. 

The Mid-America Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Certification Program is designed for GSI maintenance professionals, defined as a person or company that maintains green stormwater infrastructure as part of construction projects and in retrofit projects to reduce stormwater runoff. The purpose of the certification program is to verify the skills and knowledge of GSI maintenance professionals who will be hired to maintain these facilities, and to increase the long-term success of stormwater management in the Kansas City region.

MARC is conducting the region’s first Housing and Transportation Coordination Plan to align regional housing and transportation goals to lower household cost burden, prioritize efficient land use, and create livable communities. To develop a well-rounded understanding of housing and transportation issues across the region, MARC is engaging stakeholders in a variety of ways to gather feedback on questions related to the intersection of housing, transportation, and economic development issues.

When disaster strikes, it can be a challenge to effectively mobilize, organize, and deploy needed resources. The TEEX/NERRTC Wide Area Search course is an excellent training opportunity for nearly any jurisdiction or agency that may face such an emergency. The discipline applies to a vast number of critical situations including natural disasters or terrorist incidents.
