Will be pretty neat to have her connections injecting some more life into the KC startup scene. While it's coming back and there having been some successes (like the largest exit for a KC startup ever this week), it was thrown off by Covid.

Still not sure why Techstars pulled out of KC after Lesa Mitchell left.

I believe she will be the only billionaire in the KC metro as Min Kao (founder of Garmin) moved to NYC recently after selling his Leawood home and Neal Patterson is dead. Hopefully they'll plant down roots and become involved in various projects and initiatives. The Kauffmans can't do everything especially since Kao and Patterson did little for KC. Obviously it's their money but considering the sheer amount of public incentives their companies absorbed.

No. That parking lot is owned by TI - 20th and Grand LLC. Not much that I can find about them beyond the registered agent is Michael Flanagan, a lawyer whose office is on State Line Road. The LLC was formed in May 2020.

Authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a development agreement, purchase option agreement, and real estate sales contract with Grayson Capital or its affiliates for the sale of surplus City property located at 1531 Holmes Street; and provide a 120 day period for those negotiations
