NORTHTOWN 2040
North Kansas City's Master Plan
A Legacy to honor, a future to build
Northtown 2040 will become the newest Master Plan for North Kansas City, Missouri. It will serve as a framework for thoughtful growth, development, and continued progress. This initiative will also involve a parking study focused on the downtown area and surrounding neighborhood.
