Creating a sustainable Kansas City region, one idea at a time
Wednesday, April 22, 7 p.m. What should our region look like in 20, 30 or 40 years? How can Greater Kansas City build a sustainable future? It's up to you to tell us. KCPT and the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) are partnering on an innovative community engagement project that spans seven months, involves thousands of citizens and culminates with a live program where you are invited to participate. The results will shape local decisions for years to come. Elected officials, planners and other local leaders want to hear what you have to say and will use the feedback from this project to shape their own ideas about how our region can become more sustainable. Learn more about this community wide collaboration and how you can be a part of it at One KC Voice.
