"Kansas City has big city appeal with a small town feel. It is a city for dreamers, builders and innovators. It is a vibrant, creative community ideal for hustlers with a big heart. We don't just talk about changing the world; we do it. We imagine the future we want, and we collaborate to make it happen. We are a "one-degree-of-separation" city where leaders in all sectors are accessible and eager to lock arms and lead with locals and newcomers of all ages and backgrounds. You can taste our rich history in our sweet, smoky BBQ. You can hear our improvisational soul in our Jazz. You can see our beauty and complexity in our thriving arts scene. Kansas City is too much city for one state. There's no place like KC."
