Burns and Mac now whining is my favorite part of this story....so far.

News at 1:30 probably announcing winning bid.

wackycat, i found your new super hipstery authentic af beer spot: it's called international tap house and it's a chain where you can hear 90's standards like bittersweet symphony, and all employees wear matching shirts!

That sounds like my jam!

edgemoor was picked for recommendation to the full council.  what their proposal looks like is anybody's guess b/c it's not publicly available anywhere
they're out of maryland

According to a news release from the City of Kansas City, selection committee members are recommending the proposer due to its experience with high-profile airport terminals nationwide (but the other developers have similar experience, so???)

edgemoor has experience in design, build and privately financed projects, and its owner Clark Construction Group, a $4 billion firm, has a long history with aviation projects, starting with Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport in 1975. The firm is currently doing work for airport projects at Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan National Airport, both in Washington D.C.

its collaborative approach to the design process (were other developers believed to be non-collaborative? seems counter intuitive as a developer ), and a plan that would deliver the terminal at the best price (even though they didn't share any financing information during their presentation last month).

let the fun begin

So not bmd but 'clams is still angry?  smdh

[pissclams]

i would think that as a new airport supporter, you would be interested in your elected officials reasoning behind why they chose this plan over the others but then i'm reminding that some in KC like to throw blind support behind city hall and hope for the best.  it's the kansas city way.

3d chess man. 3d chess.

Seems like a well qualified bidder...hope we see the pretty pictures soon.

[mocat]

one thing we know for sure is slyin james was in cahoots with these paradoxically named marylanders from the getgo.
