14th and Baltimore site declared best for monstrous hotel
The old Power & Light building at 14th Street and Baltimore Avenue has been chosen as the best site for a 1,000 room convention hotel, should the city decide it can pay for one.
KSHB Channel 41 reports that a City Council subcommittee selected the site, which they’re determined to throwaway money on. The Kansas
City Business Journal says the committee chose developer Ron Jury’s $350
million plan (the Biz Journal even has an artist’s rendering of what it would look like).
It’s better than taking over Barney Allis Plaza.
