On March 28th, we reported about plans to destroy approximately 100 acres of wildlife habitat, watershed and forest for a proposed 87th Street Logistics Center in Oldham Farms. Thanks to the the loud response from people like you, that urban habitat has been saved. The Oldham Farms neighbors want to thank everyone for voicing their concerns with that development and invite you to continue to work with them to promote positive and equitable development in the Blue Ridge Area. They have scheduled a Zoom meeting with Kansas City planning department officials on
Wednesday, May 19, 6:00PM – 7:30 PM

The meeting’s purpose is to help community members better understand the development application process and how neighborhood residents can participate and be heard.
