We’re not just building an economy, we’re building a community.
We administer and implement Kansas City Missouri’s economic development strategy, and focus on business and real estate development, job creation, and community investment. Our mission is to shape a vibrant, thriving future for Kansas City and its residents.
Business Development
We are focused on attracting, growing and retaining businesses throughout KCMO. We measure success by the number of jobs added and investment by new and growing businesses.
LAND Development
We ensure that we effectively implement KCMO’s incentives process. This requires policy work, scrutinizing potential deals, and great communication between developers and impacted stakeholders.
Entrepreneurship
We believe when nurtured correctly, startups become the economic engines of the future. We source and distribute early-stage funding, as well as advocate for pro-business and pro-entrepreneur legislation in Jefferson City.
