Executive Director

Parkville Chamber & EDC

Parkville this year is off to a great start, with everything from new homes being built to new retail businesses coming into town. This new influx of growth has placed Parkville as the #2 fastest growing city in the Kansas City Metropolitan area, according to the Kansas City Business Journal, June 2023. With this growth comes great responsibility and expectations to maintain and improve our community.

In case you missed it, Parkville was named the #2 fastest growing city in Missouri by the KC Business Journal's Fastest Growing City list. Check out the article at BizJournal.com.

If you have not been to one of our member monthly lunches or special events please, plan on joining us as we discuss how we will continue to encourage a higher quality of life for all of our residents and businesses.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our leadership for their guidance and direction as we have worked through our merger of the EDC and Chamber this year. We believe as we move forward together we will be better positioned to serve our business community in Parkville.

I would also like to recognize our Golf Tournament committee for their hard work in putting on a great event this year. It would not have been such a great success without our sponsors and players. Many thanks to everyone that invested in our event, and to those that played the course - thank you!

Last but not least, PACE has new email addresses. Please note our new emails as the old addresses will be discontinued June 30.

Just For Fun

How well do you know Parkville?

In mid-July 1951, heavy rains led to a great rise of water in the Kansas River, Missouri River, and other surrounding areas of the Central United States. Flooding occurred in the Kansas, Neosho, Marais Des Cygnes, and Verdigris river basins. The damage in June and July 1951 across eastern Kansas and Missouri exceeded $935 million (equivalent to $10.5 billion in 2022). The flooding killed 17 people and displaced 518,000.

In the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, the flood began running over the top of the levees protecting the Argentine and Armourdale areas, resulting in the evacuation of 15,000 people. Water reached the rooftops of houses in Armourdale. The flood devastated the Kansas City Stockyards in the West Bottoms at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers. The Stockyards never fully recovered. The flood destroyed the TWA overhaul base at Fairfax Airport in Kansas City, Kansas prompting the city of Kansas City, Missouri, to relocate TWA to a new airport in Platte County, Missouri that later became Kansas City International Airport.
