Business owners of Kansas City, Kansas provide input as a resident and business, for what they would like to see the UG assist businesses with in upcoming years.
The UG Budget Simulator can provide data to inform the commissioners on what local business owners/residents are experiencing and what they need to grow their businesses and voice any concerns, comments, questions they may have.
You have the opportunity to voice your opinion to what you would like to see from the UG to assist you with your business. All the information will be collected processed and presented to the commissioners.
Please take advantage of this opportunity to voice your opinion.
