Contractors suing Kansas City Live Block

A pair of contractors are suing Kansas City Live, claiming the city’s new entertainment district stiffed them on work performed. Taylor Kelly and Teague Electric Construction are suing KC Live, the city, LaSalle Bank and three restaurants. I read through the lawsuit, which alleges that KC Live still owes Taylor Kelly $68,141 plus interest on completed work. The suit also alleges that Teague is owed $11,652.38 plus interest. I called an attorney for Taylor Kelly and Teague, who told me she’d call back.

I also called Jon Stephens, spokesman for the Power & Light District. He told hadn’t seen the lawsuit and couldn’t comment but said KC Live takes the issue seriously and would be willing to discuss the issue further when able to.
