Kansas City International Airport (KCI)

The FIFA World Cup is rolling into Kansas City, Missouri, and with it, over 650,000 visitors. Not only can the city expect an economic boom, but the impacts will be seen in surrounding areas — including Maryville.

In a 101-48 vote, House lawmakers approve a bill that would place restrictions on transgender Missourians.

Immigration-related flights in and out of Missouri increased more than 200% in the first year of the Trump administration. Kansas City International Airport is central to these deportation efforts, but there's almost nothing KCI or the city can do.

It's not just Kansas City's airport that expects to see an influx of visitors for this summer's World Cup. St. Louis also expects to field travelers, who will then need to trek across the state by car, Amtrak or bus.
