The Wednesday opening of LightEdge Solutions Inc., the anchor tenant for a new underground data center campus in Kansas City’s SubTropolis business park, is expected to be the start of something big.
Thus, LightEdge’s grand opening ceremonies are expected to attract a long list of high-power dignitaries. They include Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, whose administration has made the attraction of technology jobs a strategic focus; Kansas City Mayor Sly James; Presiding Clay County Commissioner Pam Mason; representatives of Denver-based Anschutz Corp., which owns LightEdge; and members of the late Lamar Hunt’s family, who own SubTropolis and other Hunt Midwest Real Estate Development Inc. properties.
