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.
The planning process will take place throughout 2026 and into 2027. Whether you are a resident, employee, business owner, or regular visitor of Northtown, please join us as we come together to shape a shared vision for our community.
Don't Miss the Planning & Design Charrette!
Join us for a two-day design charrette focused on the future of Northtown. Together, we’ll dig into the topics that matter most — land use and development, parks and recreation, infrastructure, mobility and transportation, parking, and more. We’d love to have you there! Please RSVP at the link below.

Can’t make one of the sessions? That’s okay—there’s another way to jump in.
We’ll wrap up the charrette with a public open house immediately following Session #2. This is a casual, come-and-go event, so bring your family, grab some food, and spend a little time with us. You’ll be able to see what came out of the two-day process, explore the ideas that took shape, and add your own thoughts to the mix.
No RSVP needed for the open house.
