By a count of 49,950 yes votes to 16,378 against, Kansas City voters approved a new, single-terminal Kansas City International Airport last week.
"We were cautiously optimistic going into the vote and it came out much stronger than I or others ever expected, in terms of the actual 75% for and only 25% against split," says Geoff Stricker, managing director of developer Edgemoor Infrastructure and Real Estate.
