In its brief existence, KADC has assisted the City of Kearney in locating Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative's corporate headquarters into Innovation, a newly planned industrial and business community developed by KADC.
Located on Interstate 35, just 25 miles north of downtown Kansas City, Kearney is being discovered by new residents and businesses desiring a small town atmosphere with quick and easy access to such metropolitan amenities as KCI and the Truman Sports Complex.
The Foundation is a 501 (c) 3. corporation that was set up, in conjunction with the Kearney Area Development Council, to serve the Kearney Community (as defined by the Kearney School District boundaries) in numerous capacities such as its Home Delivered Meals program, Scholarships, and other activities described in the newsletter.
Board meetings for the Kearney Community Foundation are held the second and fourth Fridays of each month at 7:00 A.M., in the basement of Kearney City Hall. We invite any interested individual to attend our meetings. Persons can secure a membership to the organization by becoming a member of the Kearney Area Development Council.
The Board of Directors are:
Jim Goss, President (Sales Manager, Pioneer Industrial Corporation)
Jim Hedrick, Vice President (President, Hedrick Construction)
Dave Hinck, Treasurer (President, Kearney Commercial Bank)
Jim Eldridge, Secretary
Brian Beasely, Plant Manager, Variform
