The OneKC WIRED Region
Two States.
18 Counties.
50 Communities.
OneKC Workforce.
The OneKC WIRED region was solidified by the Think KC / OneKC campaign launched in 2003 by the Kansas City Area Development Council (and its partners) in the 18-county, bi-state area. Subsequently, numerous organizations have developed goals and strategies consistent with the OneKC vision for reaching the region's long-term economic and workforce development potential.
A unique feature and strength of the OneKC WIRED partnership is an established history of successful collaboration, committed to leveraging the WIRED opportunity to transform our bi-state, regional economy.
