Development in the Historic 18th and Vine district has lagged for decades behind the rest of Kansas City. That appears now to be changing — and fast — raising concerns among longtime residents and business owners about gentrification. KCUR’s Carlos Moreno brings us this story.

KMUW education reporter Suzanne Perez talks to Up To Date host Steve Kraske about what was happening behind the scenes.
