� We Want to Hear from Our Community! �
Riverside Park, often called the jewel of Independence, and its nickel carousel—just one of many iconic features—along with the Ralph Mitchell Zoo, reflect the vision of citizens who planned for the Independence we enjoy today. So does Historic Memorial Hall, which honors our Veterans and stands as a lasting reminder of thoughtful leadership and community investment.
Now it’s our turn.
The Community-Based Strategic Plan will set priorities for the entire city—helping determine where we focus our time, resources, and investment in infrastructure and public safety; economic development that supports local businesses and industries; housing and neighborhood revitalization; our historic downtown; key assets like the Independence Municipal Airport; and the parks, public facilities, and services residents rely on every day.
