Engaged citizens, investment in Old Town, and honors all around at Lenexa Mayor’s 2020 State of the City address

A happy and engaged citizenry, paired with continued investment from commercial developers are the outcomes of a long-term “pro-growth” attitude in Lenexa, Mayor Michael Boehm said Wednesday in his 18th State of the City address.

Citizen satisfaction survey results consistently rank Lenexa higher than the average city in the metro area over such services as public safety, parks and recreation and snow removal, as well as its long-term vision of planning growth throughout the city, Boehm said.

“When you see outstanding results time after time, it might be tempting to think that great outcomes are easily achieved; this is simply not the case,” Boehm said. “Our tremendous results are the work product of dedicated individuals who work to make our community exceptional.”
