Just curious. What happens to the old jail building DT KC? That's a fairly substantial building that is not all that old but could be difficult to repurpose.
Yes, it will be hard to repurpose except maybe for a server farm.
I imagine it will get demolished and sold for redevelopment.

The lack of large windows (by design of course) would be a major limiting reuse factor for sure.

Still nothing on what will happen to the DT jail. Could quite easily become another surface lot or grass patch I think...

Would rather it stay. The east side of downtown KC is practically rural. At least keep a structure there till the land can be properly developed.
I wish there was an ordinance that all vacant lots not zoned for SFHs (like the blocks of vacant grass lots in the "east village") had to be planted with native plants and pollinators. Also, all the vacant lots where KC Life tore down a whole neighborhood.

Cost to plant vs cost to build a diet or gravel parking lot might not be in our favor there
Third rate city when the owners of plots of land in the central city are too lazy or destitute to even plant a tree. Just amazing stuff.
then every american city is third rate.
I am team plant trees around the perimeter but planting over the whole thing no. I also tend to think the cities that have the farm field look even worse (STL, Detroit)
