Again . . .
Taxpayer for this district has lasted longer than the jazz age and is coming close to around a quarter of a BILLION bucks since the 90s.
And since everything else hasn't worked to build a sustainable biz model . . . Maybe "walk-able" schemes might provide some benefit.
Here's the plan . . .
Renovation should be completed in the summer of 2025 and will tie in nicely with another large development for the area: the 18th Street Pedestrian Mall. The $5.4 million project will reduce car use in the district, make it easier for pedestrians to move around and create more flexibility for events and markets. The plans aim to make more community assets accessible, including the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the American Jazz Museum and the historic Blue Room jazz club.

"The building means a lot to me," said Henry C. Service, CEO of The Service Law Offices of Kansas City and owner of the Lincoln Building. "It represents what the African American community can do if given some breaks and opportunities to thrive."
