KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Some homeowners are voicing their opposition to a proposed mixed-use development called KC Outlook.
The proposed development would be built on Troost Avenue between 45th Street and Brush Creek Boulevard in a location that's currently vacant.
Faris Farassati is the developer behind the project, as well as an Overland Park City Councilman.
He said the location made sense for the project.
"When I looked at this area, I always thought that the proximity to the academic centers including the Stowers, UMKC, and all of the great universities and academic centers we have across the river essentially is a fantastic potential for Troost, to, you know, claim its glory back," Farassati said.
