KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If location, location, location is the watchword of the real estate industry, it’s also the watchword in the political battle over a proposed intermodal center and logistics park at Gardner in Johnson County.The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and its partner Allen Group want to build the $700 million, 1,000-acre facility next to Gardner. It’s a large piece of open ground close to Kansas City, a major regional transportation hub, and next to I-35, one of the nation’s major transportation arteries; and beside the Transcon, the major east-west BNSF rail-line linking southern California and Chicago.
Opponents say the size of the proposed development -- and the diesel emissions, truck traffic and other consequences -- isn’t appropriate for a community like Gardner, and especially not upwind and next to a high school and residential neighborhood and uphill from the prime water source for much of the area southwest of Kansas City.
