Resilient Economy

0% On Track 0%
Minor Disruption 0%
0% Completed 0%

The concept of economic resilience relates to a community’s ability to foresee, adapt to and advantageously leverage changing conditions. Economies are resilient when they demonstrate:

  • The ability to recover quickly from a disruptor;
  • The ability to withstand a disruptor; and
  • The ability to avoid the disruptor altogether.

Disruptors may include:

  • Downturns in the national or global economy that impacts demand for local goods and services;
  • Downturns in economic sectors critical to maintain and sustain local economic activities; and
  • External impacts such as natural or man-made disasters, closures of a major employer, changing climate, and other uncontrollable factors.

With recent experience gained from the Great Recession and the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is more important than ever to focus on resilient economic strategies. Our community’s long-term economic prosperity is linked to its resilience when facing disruptions to the local and regional economy.

The transportation system of the future can increase consistency in travel times and improve the experience of traveling within Lee's Summit.

The community supports a multimodal transportation system that accommodates all modes or ways people travel. Motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, scooter users or transit riders can safely and conveniently use the transportation system regardless of age or ability.

Our multimodal network is critical for supporting safe movement and connectivity between places that support a high quality of life in our community. Lee’s Summit is home to people with a wide range of ages and levels of mobility the comprehensive plan’s vision for growth is based on focused mixed-use development in a series of activity centers and connecting corridors, with the remainder of the City’s growth adding to the single-family neighborhoods that make up much of the City today. Residents need a variety of transportation options in places where non-driving options are more practical for short trips to enjoy various amenities such as parks and cultural offerings, convenient access to local and regional jobs and schools, and reliable access to health care and healthy food sources. Infrastructure and policies that support the safe use of all modes are essential for supporting the City’s future evolution and growth.

Public facilities allow for a community to grow and prosper in a sustainable direction. To continue providing the high quality of services our citizens have come to expect, we need to improve the resilience of our current and future facilities.

The past decades brought tremendous growth to Lee’s Summit. While growth continues to create new opportunities, facility and infrastructure planning means future generations are not financially burdened and can experience the finest quality of life. Convenient, reliable, efficient, and resilient public facilities and infrastructure allow for a community’s ability to grow and prosper sustainably.

Sustainable Environment

Community sustainability aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to live and prosper. Climate trends suggest that in the next 50 years, our region will experience increased precipitation, hotter summers, and more severe weather events. Such change can damage infrastructure, disrupt services, drain resources, and impact a City’s ability to respond to emergencies.

Economic, environmental, and social issues are interrelated, and the needs of all must be balanced. The community will discuss what efforts can be taken to ensure sustainability and resiliency through the City’s ability to respond, adapt, and thrive in the face of environmental, social, and economic changes.

Lee’s Summit benefits from ample natural resources. The community supports enhancing and protecting the natural environment. Over the next 20 years, strategies to use energy, water, and natural resources more thoughtfully and efficiently are important so that future generations can enjoy clean air, water, and natural resources.

New development in Lee’s Summit over the next decade - and future decades - will be focused on greenfield development and infill within areas considered already developed. While infill sites represent a relatively small percentage of the overall land in the City, they represent a range of opportunities to redevelop underutilized sites to better maximize existing infrastructure, services and amenities. Where possible, this Plan will guide redevelopment to ensure that it takes the form of walkable, mixed-use and mixed-income centers and neighborhoods that support the community’s vision and goals.

The land use goal for Lee’s Summit is to promote sustainable land use that meets the needs of the future, with an objective to plan for purposeful growth, revitalization, and redevelopment. A land-use framework to assist with defining future opportunities was developed as a guide for directing land use recommendations throughout the community. The framework seeks to maintain and preserve existing land uses, such as open space and neighborhoods, while proposing infill development or redevelopment for portions of the community with existing infrastructure and likelihood for growth
