Kansas should have been targeting Proctor and Gamble with Star bonds to keep that factory open at the expense of some other factory some where else. Instead they work on attracting a south KCMO company to move 6 blocks. I'm sad about this - one of KC's old manufacturers is leaving. Couple that with Harley Davidson and the sell of DST and KC has had some bad economic news lately.

^Good point.

This is a blow as KC hasn't quite recovered manufacturing jobs from 2008 hit but is the case with most Midwest cities, even MSP hasn't recovered yet...

The Full Employment Council thinks those losing their jobs won't have an issue finding another but it's pretty clear that KC is transitioning more and more as white collar and STEM. KC is well above US avg in Pro Biz Services/STEM growth.

Completely agree that this would have been better than that HCA deal. That said, I can't imagine that even with incentives KS would have saved that many jobs. I'ts not like P&G is hard up for profit, they're just looking to scrape every dollar they can. Easily could picture it being like the infamous Carrier deal in Indiana where they get $$$ only to still eliminate 2/3rds of the jobs later.

Make a new thread for that. This is about Proctor and Gamble. That graphic literally shows an ovbious lumber yard in the leasing plan so it will likely be a home improvement chain, and we all know Shopko, Meijer, and Alberstons will NOT be touching KCK or KCMO.

How can you see a Lumber Yard because all I see is something in back parking lot that doesn't look the size of Menards Lumber Yard. We need a Kmart replacement and Shopko and Meijer would do it and are good so it's Albertsons that would do good in Johnson County or KCK.

Supermarkets don't have auxilary buildings, lumber yard or not. Never mind you consistently ignore how regional chains grow and retail trends in general. You might as well throw out Disneyland when you're doing one of your retail word salads, it's about as logical.

But yeah, wrong place for this crap yet again. Not the same location as P&G's plant. Not even an industrial development. Create different thread.

Procter & Gamble buys back KCK plant it once planned to shut down
Procter & Gamble Co. has re-acquired a Kansas City, Kansas, plant it planned to close but later kept in operation after demand for its products increased during the pandemic.

The Cincinnati-based consumer goods company (NYSE: PG) on April 21 bought back its 118-year-old facility at 1900 Kansas Ave. from a joint venture between New Mill Capital, a national asset solutions company with local offices in Mission Woods, and Gordon Brothers, a global advisory, restructuring and investment firm based in Boston. Financial terms of the transaction were not available.
...
Now, with its new acquisition, Procter & Gamble appears poised to remain in the local plant for the foreseeable future.
