Plans for the American Royal in KCK inch ahead
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (KCTV) - The American Royal is one step closer to revving up construction again for its new headquarters in Kansas City, Kansas.
Thursday night, May 29, the Wyandotte Commission unanimously approved the American Royal Community Improvement District (CID) on the American Royal property northwest of the Speedway.
An additional 1% sales tax will be collected in the district until 2047 to help pay back the $155 million in STAR bonds used to fund the project.
Construction at the site work halted.
The American Royal has been a Kansas City tradition since 1899, with a mission to be the nation’s leader for food and agriculture education, events, and engagement. Until now, the American Royal was a 14-week venture each year. The new complex in Kansas plans to expand programming year-round.
