Hundreds of residents, many of whom live outside of Edgerton’s city limits in unincorporated Johnson and Miami counties, have been fighting the expansion. They are frustrated that Edgerton leaders continue to annex more farmland, making way for the development of more warehouses at the ever-encroaching Logsitics Park Kansas City. They say their quiet, rural way of life is threatened as the industrial park continues to expand south of Interstate 35. That has led about 300 residents to petition to form their own city in Miami County. They hope that incorporating into their own town will help protect their borders, so that surrounding farmland is preserved.
