Another Fake Downtown Kansas City Convention Hotel Groundbreaking?!?!



While the developers earned their $30-MILLION up front and tax breaks from City Hall . . . Skepticism is important given that this hotel has already announced and MISSED a groundbreaking THREE TIMES PREVIOUSLY.

The latest date . . .

"A ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Loews Kansas City Convention Center Hotel is scheduled for March 1, and if all goes well, the “four-star plus” hotel should be completed by late April 2020."

You decide . . .

  2. What direction are interest rates heading? They will never get this financed. This is the definition of junk bonds.

  5. Bad timing for a hotel 6:59 is correct. And there will be many more hurdles. That is why they postponed the ground breaking many times. They are waiting to see if conditions get worse. And by March it may be a go,or no go.

  9. More welfare for millionaires/billionaires. We have to give Burke and the developers of this hotel $35 million in cash plus a shit ton of TIFs and tax breaks to the tune of KC tax payers financing HALF of this thing. Yet what do we get in return? Nothing but a continuing culture of city government corruption. While S'lie, Burke, J.E. Dunn and the rest of the financial vampires suckling at the money teat laugh all the way to the bank.

    S'lie said that pigs are bellying up to the billion dollar trough when discussion the airport. He would know because he's one of them.

  10. I've never seen a more uninformed group of "experts". The financing for the project was completed a few weeks ago. That is why there is ALREADY work underway at the site. The reason the groundbreaking is "ceremonial" is because they've already started work. But please, keep up the idiotic commentary. It is very funny to read.

    And before you say..."and yet, you're here reading"...yes I am, because it is better than some INTENTIONAL comedy I've seen. You guys are a riot
