If fully realized, Troost Village would include six renovation projects, increased parking, and recreational venues.

Involving a stretch of historic buildings between Linwood Ave. and 31st Street, the plan would revitalize a section of Troost that was once a bustling commercial district in Kansas City. The developers say restaurant, retail and office space tenants will be 70 percent not-for-profit or minority organizations and 15 percent of those will be female minority entities.

    When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
