Kansas City Area Dev. Council Site
Desoto, Kansas
On the fringe of suburban Kansas City are 320 contiguous acres currently under option by the Kansas City Area Development Council (KCADC). Located in Desoto, the site is directly on an “interstate type” four-lane divided highway, Kansas Highway 10. This roadway links Johnson County with Douglas County, home of the University of Kansas. Along with serving as a link between metropolitan and academic, the route is also emerging as a high-tech corridor, anchored by the presence of a major Honeywell facility.

The site was originally acquired for potential use as a semiconductor site. Although in the early stages of development, plans are in place for extensive infrastructure to meet the needs of high impact, technology-driven industry. For water, plans are being laid to tie into a nearby decommissioned army facility, which will provide 10 mgd to the site. Another significant benefit, the site has a single owner and is completely under the control of the development group.
