Dead-tree media follow-up on a social media post from last week . . .
Mayor/CEO Christal Watson, sworn into office last month, said in a video-recorded statement that the government is still weighing the long term impacts of a stadium in Wyandotte County, asking thorough questions and trying to get a clearer picture of how the move would affect residents.
She also alluded to the local government planning to field public input throughout the process.
“Your voices matter in this process, listening matters and so does making decisions rooted in facts, accountability and long term benefit, not pressure or speculation,” Watson said in the statement, posted Dec. 26 on her official Facebook page.
The statement came just days after county leadership joined state and team officials in Topeka for a joint announcement that the Chiefs would be leaving Kansas City and crossing state lines into Kansas. The facilities in KCK and Olathe will also be surrounded by entertainment districts.
