This year’s municipal elections also took place against a backdrop of active community conversations about growth and development. Across several local jurisdictions, residents expressed increasing concern about the pace of growth, particularly regarding multifamily development and the rapid expansion of data centers.
In addition to candidate victories, Kansas City, Missouri voters overwhelmingly approved the renewal of the Earnings Tax, with more than 75% voting in favor. KCRAR supported the renewal, recognizing the role the Earnings Tax plays in funding public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and other city services that contribute to a stable region.
