JACKSON COUNTY RELEASES VISION FOR FUTURE OF TRUMAN SPORTS COMPLEX
Report and concept video explore an Arrowhead-centered future for nearly 400 acres of County-owned property
Jackson County, MO, -Jackson County Executive Phil LeVota today released a new Truman Sports Complex Redevelopment Framework outlining possibilities for the future of the nearly 400-acre County-owned property.
The framework centers on one idea: Do not abandon Arrowhead. Build around it.
“Arrowhead has history, identity and value,” LeVota said. “We shouldn't wait until facilities are empty and hundreds of acres are sitting underused to start asking what comes next. The time to start that conversation is now.”
The report, developed following the work of the Truman Sports Complex Task Force, includes two concepts illustrating how Arrowhead could remain the anchor of a year-round district. The concepts explore a mix of potential uses, including sports and entertainment, private development, transportation, hospitality and innovation.
LeVota emphasized that the concepts are not final development plans, but a starting point for future County leaders, the Legislature, community partners and potential investors.
“I may have 87 days left in this office, but Jackson County has decades ahead of it,” LeVota said. “This isn't about announcing what will be built. It's about making sure Jackson County is prepared for what comes next.”
County Executive LeVota will be available for media interviews today, October 6, to discuss the report, the two concepts, potential partnerships and funding opportunities, and his vision for the future of the Truman Sports Complex.
Media should contact Angie Jeffries at 816-881-3085 or ajeffries@jacksongov.org to schedule a specific interview time.
