Economy & Housing Events

MARC is conducting the region’s first Housing and Transportation Coordination Plan to align regional housing and transportation goals to lower household cost burden, prioritize efficient land use, and create livable communities. To develop a well-rounded understanding of housing and transportation issues across the region, MARC is engaging stakeholders in a variety of ways to gather feedback on questions related to the intersection of housing, transportation, and economic development issues. 

Join Frank Lenk, MARC’s Economic Research Director, as he presents the 2027 Economic Forecast for the Kansas City Region. The session will also describe underlying trends affecting the growth of the Kansas City economy.  Participants will have the opportunity to engage with this information in groups and share insights that can lead to more effectively responding to the challenges being created by shifting economic and demographic forces.
