Overview

The Mid-America Regional Council is coordinating a long-term multi-jurisdictional strategy to support infrastructure, transportation, and economic development along this 24-mile corridor connecting four cities: Independence, Sugar Creek, and Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan. Meaning, multiple organizations and government entities are coming together to thoughtfully develop a specific area in several phases.

Starting west at Village West in Kansas City, Kansas, and heading east to Independence, Missouri, is a 24-mile long corridor which crosses state line. This area is made up of diverse communities of people and businesses with unique needs.

From densely populated urban centers to metropolitan attractions, and small town historic communities to industrial areas, the corridor represents tremendous potential to connect people to transportation, housing, health care, employment, and education opportunities.
