The Department of Community Development's mission is to ensure a high-quality built environment in the best place to build and develop in Kansas.

We feel strongly that we are partners with those people who choose to live, work and do business in our City as we all pursue our dreams. Being the best place to build and develop means:

• Planning neighborhoods, business parks and retail locations that respect the environment, support the community's vision, and will maintain their value over time.

• Providing the quality of life for both residents and businesses that make people choose Lenexa over other areas.

• Ensuring the consistent quality of building construction to provide both safety to occupants and long-term value to property owners.

• Maintaining these community standards for the common benefit of all, and

• Providing caring, professional service to property owners and the development community in the spirit of partnership to attain these goals.

Lenexa is certainly not the cheapest or least-restrictive place to develop, but if you share our goals of quality and long-term value, we think you will see why everyone from major corporations to quality developers to thousands of families know that Lenexa is the best place to build and develop.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with your questions or comments on how we can help you realize your dreams in Lenexa at rkroh@ci.lenexa.ks.us or 913-477-7711.

Director of Community Development
