Thanks to our great partners and communities who helped make the 2016 Community Development Day a great success.

The Platte County EDC hosted 70 commercial brokers, real estate developers, community representatives and sponsors at its second annual Community Development Day on Monday, May 9th.

The event provided a full day of networking at The National Golf Club in Parkville through and featured a Community and Sponsor Expo, lunch, golf scramble and dinner.
