The $850 million entertainment district that was created in the center of downtown Kansas City, Missouri has been less than successful in living up to its original projected success. The complex is comprised of eight blocks with restaurants, nightclubs and retail shops. The center was poised to be wildly successful as the economy was predicted to recover–unfortunately neither have happened much in the Kansas City area.

The center, called the Power & Light District, has reported worrisome lows in traffic and sales. The Kansas City movers have learned that the center is actually only generating 1/3 of the money they need to cover the debt they took out to build. Hopefully there is a draw to the area soon and the Power & Light District can achieve its original goals of catering entertainment to downtown KC.
