Council appointee reports Leavenworth County port authority updates; city development activity grows

Councilmember Mike reported on his attendance at the Leavenworth County Port Authority meeting, saying "there are three manufacturing projects that have been shortlisted and site visits in the county are occurring." He added that regional transportation planning and funding will affect K-5 improvements and the Centennial Bridge.

Separately, planning staff said development activity in Basehor is increasing: a final plat adjacent to McDonald's has been submitted for review for a new commercial lot, Dunkin' Donuts is approaching final construction review, and the Honey Creek area has commercial interest and ongoing home construction. Councilmembers thanked staff for fundraising and event support and closed the meeting after routine reports.
