The City of Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO) invites the public to attend a meeting of the Kansas City Brownfields Initiative (KCBI). The meeting is to be held on Friday, January 9, 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. in the 10th Floor Committee Meeting Room at City Hall, 414 E. 12th St., Kansas City, Missouri. The public is invited to attend in person or virtually by contacting Caty Patterson at catherine.patterson@kcmo.org. The meeting will include discussion of a proposal to seek a Brownfields Cleanup Grant of up to $4 million from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to remediate additional vacant properties owned by the Land Bank of Kansas City, MO in the Washington Wheatley neighborhood. The public will be given the opportunity to learn about a draft Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA), and submit comments. Applications are due January 28, 2026. In addition, updates on various Brownfield Program projects will also be provided, and program loans and grant status will be reviewed.
The draft ABCA (including a list of the related properties), relevant environmental reports and other materials are available on-line at the following link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1P0H2PIBnClfjJ048TDVTje_LxYBn7odI?usp=sharing
or by contacting Andrew Bracker at (816) 513-3002, andrew.bracker@kcmo.org. Comments will be received until January 28, 2026.
The EPA grants money to investigate and clean up properties, known as “Brownfields,” which are often vacant or underused due to real or perceived contamination. Community participation in this process is highly encouraged. The public is invited to learn, comment and provide input that will help improve grant outcomes by assisting in decisions that promote the removal of blight and contamination, create healthier places to live, work and play, and create jobs and new economic opportunities. Brownfields Program information is available at the www.kcmo.gov/brownfields.
Stakeholders, including community residents, neighborhood organizations, businesses, professionals, non-profits, and government representatives, are all encouraged to attend, learn, and share. The meeting link, agenda and materials are available by contacting KCMO Department of City Planning and Development, Caty Patterson at (816) 513-2902, catherine.patterson@kcmo.org.
