totally changing subjects I am for real kind of pissed about the incentives that KC keeps giving Cerner, even when they do things that are clearly not good for the city. very frustrating.

Instead of what appears to be willy nilly at this point.

KCMO is terrified of losing jobs to KS and vice versa. Sporting KC and Cerner just dumped thousands of jobs and Sporting Park over in WyCo due to huge incentives. When Bannister was back on the table, KCMO wasn't about to lose the jobs again.
A downtown Garmin does not work.

Who works at the Cerner in SE KC? I always drive by it and feel like it's a weird place for such a huge corporation. Is that location their first one?

Do we know what the timeline on this project is?
