Our work

Creating a region of opportunity

for everyone

Our work is organized into separate but interrelated focus areas. Each plays an important role in achieving our vision — a region of opportunity that supports its people, places and communities.

Fostering collaboration

To build a region we're proud to call home

Some issues reach across the boundaries of individual communities. Often, they can only be addressed by working together. MARC creates a space for the Kansas City region to come together to find and implement solutions that create a community people are proud to call home.

What we're working on

MARC brings together stakeholders from across the region to address the most important issues facing Greater Kansas City. Here's what we've been working on lately.
