Summary

Kansas City just landed a $1 million federal grant to tackle the massive $4.5 billion upgrade of U.S. 71 and I-35—projects aimed at reconnecting divided neighborhoods, boosting the economy, and modernizing infrastructure. Working with MoDOT and expert consultants, the city will explore two legal funding strategies to get these vital corridors built. This isn’t just about roads—it’s about healing communities split by highways for decades. Public input will be key as workshops are planned, and the funding comes from the Build America Bureau, signaling strong federal support for long-overdue progress.
