It’s Business Drive Time® in Kansas City

2:26 am By Dave Anderson

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Kansas City is jumping. We’ve been through alot over the past few years, but things are getting back to normal. Companies are expanding. New organizations are finding their beginnings in the city. Employers hiring. They are looking for great people, and they are finding them in Kansas City! With all the changes in the market, and turmoil on the coasts, people and companies are looking from better markets. Better places to live.  Better places to locate companies and employees. And, there are opportunities, especially in tech, for remote positions.  As a result of this, and Kansas City’s overall reputation, KC is developing a notable spot on the national map.

The Spirit (and vibrancy) of Kansas City.

A recent study by the Brookings Institute ranked Johnson County, Kan., the key suburban county of the Kansas City metro, as one of the most vibrant counties in the nation. https://bit.ly/2EmCBmq Kansas City City is feeding off that energy, and the city’s future is as bright. Kansas City based events like the 2023 NFL Draft, a recent Super Bowl Win and the awarding as a host city for the FIFA World Cup 2026 are all nods from national influencers that Kansas City is on the map.

Kansas City is on the Move!Fresh Octane

What is Kansas City’s secret sauce? What makes Kansas City a great place to live and work? Why is it an attractive metro to own and run a company? Kansas City has become a hotbed for innovative new companies, new technologies and new business growth. We will discuss why!

Alpha Board Leaders: We are addressing these topics and more in the Kansas City segment of our Alpha Board National Business Leadership Tour. We are featuring a select group of area professionals as a part of the national tour. Join us as we showcase Kansas City leaders and newfound Kansas City growth! www.AlphaBoardTour.com

The national Alpha Board Tour is featuring some of the hottest markets across the nation. We’re reviewing the cities where business leaders, families and companies truly want to live. Fresh Octane® cities like, Kansas City, Denver, Minneapolis, Phoenix-Scottsdale, Nashville, Dallas, Austin and Raleigh-Durham all have a number of things in common. They are vibrant and growing. They are great places to locate businesses. Technology companies are thriving, plentiful and welcome in each city. And their livability indices far exceed the livability and affordability ratings of their coastal peer cities.

Alpha Driven GrowthAlpha® Driven Growth: As a part of our tour, we’re looking for the finest drivers to help us tell the best business stories! If you are distinguished business owner, CEO advisor, a noted business development professional or a recognized leader in the Kansas City region (or another Fresh Octane City,) we’d love to include your story in our national tour!  To learn more, call Dave Anderson at 612 810-4000; email Dave@AlphaBoard.com.
