Kansas City ranked No. 1 in the nation in construction

Think economic recovery hasn’t made it to Kansas City, Kansas?

You’re wrong.

Kansas City, Kansas unified Government Mayor Joe Reardon spoke at a campus forum at Kansas City Community College yesterday, and said the area is building its way out of the struggling economy.

Reardon said Kansa City, Kansas ranked No. 1 in the nation in construction between September of 2009 and 2010. The $282 million worth of construction permits during that time was more than double the previous highs of $118 in 2000 and 2005, and Reardon says the future is bright.

Those figures don’t reflect the $200 million Hollywood Casino under construction at The Legends, or the Cerner facility being planned nearby. Reardon told the Kansas City Star the two should create more than 5,000 new jobs in the coming years, and the casino is doing 71 percent of its business with local, minority, and women-owned businesses.
