Riverside Community Development

Discover Riverside
The City of Riverside is a unique fourth class city located within the Kansas City Metro Area in the southeast corner of Platte County. The Missouri River defines the county's western and southern borders. A new levee has recently been completed and a beneficial revenue partnership with the Argosy Casino has helped create a surge in economic opportunities.

Expansion and Growth
Currently, Riverside is proactively encouraging economic development through an extensive capital improvement plan, guided by our award winning Master Plan. The City is poised for a major economic expansion with several development projects on the table, including Downtown Revitalization, South Downtown Projects, Upper Gateway Projects and the exciting Horizons Projects.

The ramp from Briarcliff Parkway to Southbound Route 9 will be closed starting January 22.  Motorists will need to use alternate routes and detours.  Please also be alert to other lane closures that will occur in the area as part of this project.  The improvements at this intersection are expected to be completed in November 2010.
