Community leaders from across Kansas are in Pittsburg this week. They’re hoping to take what they learn in Pittsburg to change their communities for the better. And this could even have an impact in places like Leawood and Wichita. For more than seven months, these leaders travel to regions across the state to see how the communities operate, and speak with local leaders about what makes the area tick. This week, the Kansas Chamber brought 40 community leaders to Pittsburg as part of its annual Leadership Kansas program. Over the next few days, participants will be exploring local attractions, restaurants and industries. They’ll also be speaking with city leaders to discuss local initiatives — including Pittsburg’s efforts to increase housing.
