Platte City, Missouri
Platte City is the county seat of Platte County, sitting on the south side of the Platte River along Interstate 29 in the northern Kansas City metro. It is known for its historic Main Street across from the Platte County Courthouse and for the Platte County Fair, the oldest continuously operating fair west of the Mississippi. It is also the town Jesse James planned to rob in 1882, a plan that famously never made it off the drawing board.

Platte City budget puts $18 million toward Highway 92 and $16 million into sewer plant
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved the budget for the fiscal year running Nov. 1, 2026, through Oct. 31, 2027, according to the Platte County Landmark (Nov. 12, 2026). It includes $18 million for Highway 92 work, mostly funded by $16.3 million in grants and developer contributions, plus $250,000 for annual street maintenance and $16 million for the wastewater treatment plant renovation and expansion, backed by an expected state revolving fund loan. The budget also sets aside $82,500 to move 50 to 60 indoor water meters outside and $50,000 to plan turning the former City Hall on Main Street into a small community meeting and event space.
Parks
November 2026
Pickleball courts and outdoor fitness area funded for spring construction
The new city budget includes $500,000 for four pickleball courts at Harrel Ferrel Park, with an anticipated $187,500 Platte County parks grant covering part of the cost; the city administrator hopes to seek bids this winter and start construction next spring. A $289,050 outdoor fitness area is planned at Rising Star Park, where a $35,000 National Fitness Campaign grant and an anticipated $165,000 county parks grant would reduce the city’s share to $89,050. Construction there is also expected to begin in spring.

Aldermen to revisit sewer rate errors at Nov. 10 work session
After the Board of Aldermen approved new water and sewer rates that took effect Nov. 1, City Administrator Bryan Richison said the ordinance set the east-of-I-29 sewer minimum at $22.14 instead of the intended $24.14, and that prior rates for customers outside city limits did not match the staff report. He planned to bring possible corrections to outside-city sewer rates, plus the sewer rate charged to the city of Tracy, to a Nov. 10, 2026 work session. Results of that discussion had not been published as of Nov. 11; Tracy’s volume charge stays at $12.60 per 1,000 gallons pending review of its contract.

Platte City raises sewer rates ahead of $16 million plant upgrade
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved higher sewer rates and adjusted water rates, effective Nov. 1, 2026; customers first see them on December bills. A west-of-I-29 household using 5,000 gallons a month goes from about $117.99 to $130.46 combined, while east-side customers go from about $127.99 to $144.46. The increase helps fund a roughly $16 million wastewater treatment plant upgrade and expansion planned for the 2026-27 fiscal year, financed with a low-interest Missouri DNR State Revolving Fund loan; the city administrator planned to discuss an ordinance wording error on the east-side sewer minimum at the Nov. 10 work session.

The change lets 816 Dispensary on Running Horse Road operate around the clock, with its owner saying only the drive-thru would run overnight.

City Hall mold cleanup tops $80,000
The city has spent $80,578 to fix mold at City Hall, 224 Marshall Road, which opened in November 2023.
