Urban Summit Invitation: A Crucial Discussion on Jackson County’s Future
Join us for an urgent and unmissable Urban Summit on Friday, October 11th, as we engage in a high-stakes conversation about the most pressing issues facing Jackson County. This week, the Summit will feature members of the Jackson County Legislature and promises to be one of the most critical discussions of the year.
Key Issues on the Table:
- The Property Tax Assessment Debacle: Homeowners are in crisis as property assessments have skyrocketed, causing widespread frustration and economic strain. We will confront the deep mismanagement and what needs to happen to restore fairness and trust.
- Stalled Negotiations with the Chiefs and Royals: With the sales tax extension failure, the future of Kansas City’s beloved sports teams is at risk. How will the County move forward, and what’s next for keeping the Chiefs and Royals in Jackson County?
- The Looming Return of ARPA Funds: Jackson County is on the verge of returning $70 million in American Rescue Plan funds due to a bitter impasse between County Executive Frank White and the Legislature. This funding, which could have provided essential services like mental health support and crime prevention, is at risk of being lost. We will discuss how to break the deadlock and ensure these vital funds stay in our community.
Panel Facilitator: Rev. Dr. Vernon P. Howard
Invited Guests:
- County Executive Frank White (Invited)
- Legislators Manny Abarca (confirmed), DaRon McGee (confirmed), Donna Peyton (confirmed), Sean Smith (confirmed), Jalen Anderson (invited), and Vanessa Huskey (invited)
