The Northeast Kansas City Chamber of Commerce has a “dream” for Independence Avenue: making this key part of the Historic Northeast into an international marketplace.
Bobbi Baker-Hughes, Northeast Kansas City Chamber of Commerce president, said she hopes one day Independence Avenue can become the international marketplace with the help of the cultures in the community and the Independence Avenue Community Improvement District (CID).
“The CID has been so inspirational to the community residents and business owners that any challenges of the CID have been overshadowed by the successes we’ve had,” Baker-Hughes said. “We are moving minds, not moving dirt in efforts for re-building Independence Avenue so as to set examples for others.”
