Not so long ago a bevy of startups promised that their sketchy websites, apps and social media platforms would usher in a gold age for this town.

As always, here's the latest round in that discussion that might actually offer a few jobs on this nicer side of the bridge . . .
A Massive Northland Data Center Could Help Kansas City Become A National Tech Hub

ReplyDeleteDo you have the stats to prove that statement?
Because it's wrong.
The only way that KCMO could become a national data hub is if it could be moved to one of the coasts.

Sad.
Never gonna happen. Keep dreaming tho!
ReplyDeleteSure, they will open a 10,000 phone call center.
