The future of American manufacturing is being built right here in Kansas City!
Last week at Union Station, we celebrated The University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) being selected by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to lead the Critical Materials Crossroads (CMC) Engine, a regional initiative to rebuild America’s domestic supply chain for critical materials. We proudly stood with the CMC Engine and Port KC to celebrate a massive step forward for our region and country.
NorthPoint Development is honored to help translate this vision into industrial capacity by developing the sites, infrastructure and manufacturing environment needed for businesses to onshore the production of critical materials within the U.S. By revitalizing sites like the Missouri River Terminal, we are positioning Missouri and the Kansas City region to become a national center for critical material processing, knowledge and innovation.
Thank you for having us, and congratulations to the CMC and UMKC on this historic announcement.
