Code Koalas Plans Expansion At Its Kansas City, Missouri, Headquarters & Operations Center
02/10/2017
According to the Missouri Department of Economic Development, the company, which started operations in 2011, will eventually be looking to move into a larger building in the downtown Kansas City area. It will need more office and meeting space to accommodate an increased employee count. As an incentive, to assist with Code Koala’s expansion, DED offered a strategic incentive package that the company can receive if it meets strict job creation criteria.
Governor Eric Greitens said, “As governor, I am focused on creating more high-paying jobs for Missourians and that is exactly what this company is committed to doing. I had the pleasure of speaking with the company’s CEO and he is looking forward to our strong, conservative leadership and the new direction we are taking in Missouri to help businesses grow and prosper.”
Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, DED officials said Code Koalas attributed its decision to deepen its roots in Missouri to the low to moderate cost of living and Kansas City’s great support system for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
“Code Koalas is grateful to play a role in developing a brighter economic future in Kansas City. We believe that web and app development jobs are a significant component of the overall economic development of our city, state and region,” said Robert Manigold, Ambassador of Awesome of Code Koalas.
"This is terrific news for a great company, and Kansas City. Our goal is to be a city that companies thrive in, and Code Koalas is a shining example,” said Kansas City Mayor Sly James. “It means a lot that we've been home to their vision, from start-up through this expansion. We're excited for their continued success, the new jobs this will bring, and we're proud of the continued growth among excellent tech talent in our city."
