Support from State and Local Leaders
State leadership expressed strong support for the multi-billion dollar plan, highlighting fiscal growth without tax increases.
"Funding schools in Elkhart, roads in Atchison and everything in between should be done through economic growth and job creation….
not raising taxes," said Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson.
"That is essential to our state's future, and that is exactly why the Kansas City Chiefs project is so important to Kansas," Masterson added.
Legislative leaders also endorsed the economic strategy behind the project.
"We enter into strategic economic partnerships for three fundamental reasons….
to grow our economy, create jobs and lessen the burden on Kansas taxpayers," said Kansas Speaker of the House Daniel Hawkins.
Local municipal leaders stated that the incoming investments will significantly enhance community resources.
"Wyandotte County is a special place with a limitless future," said Christal Watson, Mayor and CEO of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas.
