Incoming DTC Chair Gib Kerr’s Thoughts on Downtown KC Past, Present & Future

Downtown Kansas City is a remarkable success story. Over the last thirty years, we’ve witnessed nine million square feet of historic renovations, breathing new life into more than sixty aging structures. Those older buildings, along with dozens of new developments, enabled downtown’s population to surge to over 33,000 residents. The Power & Light District, the T-Mobile Center, the Crossroads Arts District, and other destinations have made downtown the epicenter of Kansas City’s entertainment and cultural scene.
