The same consulting company that appears to have significantly overshot financial projections for the Kansas City Power & Light District has been rehired for a new city project.
This time, the city engaged Chicago-based C.H. Johnson Consulting Inc. for $130,000 to short-list requests for proposals to build Downtowns next big project: a convention center hotel.
Downtowns most recent big project, the $850 million Kansas City Power & Light District, was the subject of financial performance projections by C.H. Johnson that city officials now say missed their mark.
They were wrong, werent they? said Mayor Mark Funkhouser, a critic of the hotel project. They were spectacularly wrong.
