"We’re very thankful to Steve Rinne along with his team at the Economic Development Corporation of Kansas City, as well as our partners with the City of Kansas City and the State of Missouri,” said Jene’ Hong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Barton Nelson. “They have been invaluable in assisting us to identify potential incentives to offset a portion of the proposed investment as well as a great partner helping walk us through the process every step of the way and we look forward to continuing our legacy of success here in Kansas City."
“Barton Nelson’s announcement today is just the latest example in Missouri’s thriving economy,” said Mike Downing, Acting Director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. “We recognize the importance of continued investments by successful Missouri companies and we’re thankful for Barton Nelson’s commitment to the community in keeping our economy moving forward.”
“Barton Nelson’s nimble business model has positioned the company for strong growth in the years to come,” said Kansas City Mayor Sly James. “That entrepreneurial spirit is fostered here in Kansas City. I am confident the partnership between the City and Barton Nelson will produce mutually beneficial results. There is a reason this company has seen double digit sales increases for close to 30 years. Barton Nelson is precisely the type of company I want to keep in Kansas City.”
