FROM EPA TO BASSPRO, DINOSAURS TO SHARKS….

A week after Kansas City, KS wins the Google lottery, there’s dire news in Wyandotte County KCK as the EPA announces its heading out of downtown KCK and taking its 600 jobs to the greener pastures of Lenexa. Could the Polsinelli law firm be heading to Johnson County too? The firm abruptly shelves plans to build a contentious office tower on the Country Club Plaza. So what’s next? A fast paced high energy review of a slew of metro development projects from bailouts at BassPro in Independence, to dinosaurs and aquariums in Johnson County.
