Cleanup Of Toxic Bannister Federal Complex Is Ahead Of Schedule, Developer Says
Redevelopment of a portion of the former Bannister Federal Complex site in south Kansas City, Missouri, could begin as soon as late this year, according to the firm handling the project.
Most of the buildings have been demolished, and environmental mediation and flood mitigation work continues ahead of attracting possible tenants.
“Most federal facilities would sit abandoned, closed for 15, 20 years,” Kevin Breslin, principal owner of Bannister Transformation and Development, said during a briefing and tour of the site Wednesday.
“Obviously, they begin to deteriorate over time, nobody can keep up these old structures. ... This is the better way to do it, by addressing it immediately after the federal facility was abandoned.”
