Kansas City Mayor Sly James names his KCI advisory panel
Lawyers from two of Kansas City’s bigger law firms, the man who helped design the original Kansas City International airport, the president of a local labor union and one of the most prominent skeptics of a single-terminal KCI are among Sly James’ appointees to an airport advisory group.
James wants a 24-member advisory board to answer whether KCI, as it is, is the best airport for Kansas City, and if not, what options should be considered for a new airport design in the future. Recommendations may come by the end of the year or longer if they need the time.
Bob Berkebile, the B in architecture firm BNIM, was one of the designers of the original three-terminal design; he is the co-chairman of the advisory group along with retired local KPMG managing partner David Fowler.
