Someone is trying to do something with it.

I don't expect it will happen though. And even if it did I'd be surprised if it were successful.

It's almost laughable how the gentleman says he doesn't want to have to pay any of the costs - that should be pushed off on the developer or government.

That article is confused. The Indian Springs post office was at a shoddy strip mall "near 49th Street", not at Indian Springs mall, which is east of 47th St, the major north-south street intersecting State Ave in the area. Not that it's that important, but it leaves the question which site is being discussed regarding the acquatics park.

It's 2017 and the mall is a big mostly flat gravel surface. Last time I was by it late last year it was a big dirt hole.

Lane4 Property Group, a Kansas City real estate firm, is proposing to develop 26 acres of flex/tech office and light industrial space on the southern part of the former Indian Springs Mall site in Kansas City, Kan.

Axis Point Developers I, a special business entity formed by partners of Lane4, is due before a committee of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kan., on Monday evening to present its development plans that would occupy a portion of the dead mall site, which was demolished last year.

The project consists of 350,000 square feet of light industrial development and what’s called “flex/tech” office space, which is office space that often accompanies industrial or warehouse facilities.

UG commissioners hit pause on $140M redevelopment plan for Indian Springs Mall site

Also at issue is the timeline for completing the four-phase development called KC Foodie Park. An affiliate of Scavuzzo's Inc., a food service company based in Kansas City, Kan., wants to start with a warehouse distribution building for Scavuzzo's followed by retail, restaurant and entertainment options along State Avenue. The third phase would include commercial development and the final phase would add a corporate headquarters building for Scavuzzo's, which wouldn't be slated to open until 2031.
