Committee broadens wording in economic development section of Roeland Park plan
Summary
Committee members and staff revised the economic development wording to list example programs rather than naming Project RISE and grants as the only options, aiming for more inclusive language in the plan.
Staff told the committee they changed a line in the economic development section that previously said "participate in programs with Project RISE and through grants," rephrasing it to list example programs rather than limit the strategy to specific partners. The revision is intended to make the plan's economic-development language more flexible.
"We kind of rephrased it to include programs such as just to specify that those are not the only programs that might be included," the staff member said, explaining the edit was meant to avoid limiting future program choices. Committee members did not object to the change and moved on to other sections.
