The Kansas City Business Journal is reporting that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 7 headquarters could move out of Kansas City, Kan.

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.
