After 20 years of dreaming, planning and building, the facilities at the Lenexa civic campus opened July 31, 2017. The idea for a new walkable, mixed-use downtown was at the heart of Vision 2020, a citizen-led strategic planning process completed in 1997. These concepts have culminated in the Lenexa civic campus, an innovative district that incorporates a new city hall, Lenexa Rec Center, Lenexa Public Market and outdoor gathering spaces.
