Civic leaders see growth in Leavenworth county’s future

Growth.

That is the operative word for the near future of Leavenworth County.

According to several civic leaders, the outlook is optimistic for the county for the next 10 years.

“Leavenworth County will continue to be a great option for businesses and individuals as more and more housing construction takes place in all parts of the county,” said Steve Jack, executive director of the Leavenworth County Development Corporation. “Certainly, the major road projects undertaken by the county will open up more areas for development, particularly residential.”

Jack said business parks located in Leavenworth and Tonganoxie “will likely be reaping benefits to the county from additional businesses and the employment opportunities they bring.”
“I anticipate seeing significant industrial, commercial and residential growth by 2028,” said Tim Vandall, city administrator for the city of Lansing. “I believe Leavenworth County’s proximity to the metro will continue to make it appealing to businesses and individuals. Significant transportation thoroughfares like 24/40, K-7 and I-70 make owning, expanding or starting a business in the communities of Leavenworth County appealing.”
