Episode Details

Historic sites in Independence, Missouri, face uncertain futures as voters rejected a $12 million bond for upkeep and an athletic complex. A new master plan proposes selling some sites to private owners and setting up conservancies at others. The proposal sparked outrage at a city council meeting, with residents and councilmember-elect Cody Atkinson expressing strong opposition. The new council and mayor will take office next week, and Atkinson plans to engage volunteers and fans to brainstorm ways to boost tourism and business through these sites. Leaders are committed to transforming these sites into community pride points, and more community input is expected before any final decisions are made.
