The Promise of Prosperity for Kansas City

KC Rising is a regional, long-term initiative to build collaborative scale, create system alignment, promote public-private partnerships and leverage existing initiatives in support of realizing Kansas City’s potential. Each year, KC Rising measures Kansas City's progress against the 15 metros areas just above us in population and the 15 metro areas below. The goal is for Kansas City to rank in the top 10 of these 30 peer metro regions on three measures: gross metropolitan product, median household income, and number of quality jobs. KC Rising concentrates its efforts on three economic drivers: Trade, Ideas and People. The work of these economic drivers takes into account the economic enablers of Place, Policy and Inclusion. These efforts are directed by three KC Rising Leadership Teams: Globally Competitive Sectors, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and Human Capital.
