The city of Lansing is looking for partners throughout the county for a new look at the corridor that runs through its middle — Kansas Highway 7.
Nolan Sunderman, director of economic development and the Convention and Visitors Bureau for Lansing, said the city was approached by officials in Wyandotte County about participating in an economic development study of the K-7 corridor.
Before that, according to Cindy Cash, president of the Kansas City, Kan., Chamber of Commerce, Wyandotte County had been working on the study as a “supplement” to the Kansas Department of Transportation’s K-7 Corridor Study from 2008.
According to Lansing City Administrator Mike Smith, the proposed study differs from that previous report regarding the area. Instead of focusing on traffic flow and other transportation issues, he said the new study would aim to guide land use and future development along the corridor.
“It’s not our last green area, but it is probably the area that is most developable,” Cash said of K-7 from Leavenworth County to northern Johnson County.
