    Englewood… an Arts & Entertainment District?

    Monday, August 31st, 2009

    Recently, four groups sponsored a “feasibility study” that asked the question… “Could Englewood possibly be turned into an Arts & Entertainment District?”

    The four groups were:

    • The Independence Council for Economic Development (ICED)
    • The Truman Heartland Community Foundation
    • The City of Independence
    • The Englewood Business Association

    Together, these groups asked “AMS Planning & Research”, a firm from St. Louis, to come here and peform this feasibility study.

    The study was completed a few short weeks ago.  I am posting a copy of AMS’ final report here:

    It’s a bit of a long read.  However, the final report says that Englewood does indeed show potential for being developed into a center of arts, culture, and entertainment.

    I invite you to read over the report and see what you think!
