Connecting KCK to Regional Reinvestment
Connecting KCK to Regional Reinvestment
Published on November 05, 2024
Last week, the Mid-America Regional Council hosed a roundtable on the Bi-State Sustainable Reinvestment Corridor. Mayor Garner represented Kansas City, KS in a discussion with Missouri Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, federal officials, and other regional leaders about the economic potential of this initiative.
The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded a competitive $5.6 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant to the Mid-America Regional Council to conduct this work in partnership with the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority and the cities and counties along the corridor. This funding will be used for planning activities for the east-west high-capacity transit corridor and related improvements.
The Bi-State Sustainable Reinvestment Corridor project will connect four cities in two states and two counties, to implement plans for a 24-mile, zero-emission regional transit route to support cleaner air. The comprehensive approach to corridor planning includes zero-emission transit, public infrastructure upgrades, energy-efficient housing, equitable Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), area-wide broadband, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and workforce training associated with green stormwater infrastructure.
