@kcur893 Kansas City’s historic jazz district is starting to look a lot different. 🎷 For months, sections of 18th and Vine have been under construction, with 15 different development projects underway – part of an effort the city is calling “Revive the Vine.” In total, more than $400 million will be spent on these public and private developments with a goal of revitalizing the district for residents and tourists alike. KCUR’s Brandon Azim reports which of the projects have already been finished and which are expected to start soon. 🎙️Hosted by Brandon Azim 📹Produced and filmed by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #worldcup #jazz ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
