Developer Rick Worner of National Realty Advisers has had his hand in a number of STAR bond projects – not just Derby’s. Worner was involved in one of the first STAR bond projects in the state – the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City – and currently has his hands in a few in the Wichita area. With Derby, he noted he looks at current national and global trends to help decide what can further be added to the STAR bond district. For example, Worner mentioned aquariums (which are not actually allowed to be developed as STAR bond projects). If an aquarium opened in London or Atlanta and was drawing hundreds of thousands of people, he said he would dig deeper into its development potential in Derby.
