After 30 years of trying, an approval for revitalizing Kansas City‘s downtown riverfront is making progress.
A three-decade attempt to revive the downtown riverfront inched forward Tuesday when the Kansas City Plan Commission approved a plat proposal from the Port Authority of Kansas City.
Part of the plan, named Union | Berkley Riverfront Park, calls for construction of luxury apartments, retail and parking facilities.
The $65 million project will be developed by Flaherty & Collins Properties, an Indianapolis-based company, on land owned by the Port Authority, which is investing about $5 million in infrastructure development.
