For Water and Planning Connect attendees, downtown Kansas City Missouri, is the place to be.
Kansas City has always been a hub of trade and transit. Surveyed by Lewis and Clark on their return from Oregon, the city quickly became the first stop for settlers on their way to the western territories.
If you find yourself with a spare moment, take a short walk west to historic Quality Hill, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Kansas City, which overlooks the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers.
