About the Port Authority
The Port Authority of Kansas City, Mo., was established in 1977 to promote commerce, transportation, trade, riverfront development and economic vitality. The Port Authority has undertaken oversight of projects such as the revitalization of the Missouri riverfront, the redevelopment of the Richards-Gebaur Intermodal Freight Gateway and Kansas City's riverboat gaming operation.
The Port Authority is directed by a seven-member board of commissioners appointed by the mayor. The Port Authority is a statutory agency within the Economic Development Corporation, an umbrella organization that oversees and supports several Kansas City, Missouri development agencies.
