KC Wins the World Cup Base Camp Battle

Kansas City used a concerted mix of heavy soccer investment, centralized location, and infamous "KC kind" hospitality to land three top-seeded World Cup base camps for 2026 (Argentina at Sporting KC, the Netherlands at Sporting KC’s partner facility, England securing a Kansas City site), aided by FIFA rules that favor teams near group-stage games. The bid relied on extensive tours, private experiences, and strong local partnerships, with the effort aimed at transforming KC into the base-camp capital of the world and boosting the region’s profile.

GM Moves Buick Envision Production Back Home to Kansas City for U.S. Market

GM will shift the Buick Envision’s successor from China to Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City for vehicles sold in the United States, starting in 2028, while models for other markets could still be produced in China. GM says the move strengthens its domestic manufacturing footprint amid tariffs on imports and a push to boost U.S. jobs, noting previous investments and related plant expansions (such as Equinox production in Kansas City). Tariffs on foreign-made cars have been around 25% in recent years.

Kansas City braces for heavier snowfall as winter storm shifts north

A winter storm tracking northward is bringing higher snowfall to the Kansas City area, with 8–9 inches expected along I-70, and 11–12 inches farther south; north of KC, 6–8 inches between I-70 and US-36 and under 4 inches farther north. Snow should begin late Friday night, arrive metro-wide between midnight and 3 a.m. Saturday, with heaviest snowfall Saturday morning; winds 20–25 mph, gusts to 30 mph, and blowing snow could reduce visibility. The system may linger into Sunday morning, while dangerously cold wind chills below zero are forecast for more than 48 hours. Start time uncertainties of 2–3 hours could shift totals.
