Thanks to our great partners and communities who helped make the 2017 Community Development Day a success!

The Platte County EDC hosted 70 commercial brokers, real estate developers, community representatives and sponsors at its third annual Community Development Day on Monday, May 15th.

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 19th hole.

The day kicked off with a Community and Sponsor Expo as Platte County communities Kansas City, Parkville, Platte City, Riverside and Weston got the opportunity to showcase what is happening in their communities.

During lunch, the communities shared updates with the attending brokers, developers and economic development partners before the golfers took to the course. Ed Bradley, BankLiberty and Platte County EDC Vice-Chair, served as our emcee for the program.
