The move would create a loss of 700 jobs in the downtown core of the city, as negotiations between the two parties are ongoing.

Brent Miles, president of the Wyandotte Economic Development Council, is quoted extensively in the piece. The Region 7 headquarters serve Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and nine Tribal Nations located within the regions.

Important story. I hope our local, state, and federal leaders have an influence on this situation, and I hope they are using it in our favor. This would be a huge loss for downtown.
