KC Companies Are the Best!

Going first is never easy – but thankfully, this is a city with vision and heart! These Kansas City companies have donated $600,000 of materials, funding, and expertise toward creating this world’s first for Kansas City. We’re going to thank them in a lot of fun ways – and we hope that you thank them, too!

There's Still Time for You to Participate

INVEST
When the High Line Network invited us to join, they said it was because we were “hacking capitalism” through a model that delivers returns for investors and big wins for Kansas City.

To pay for some special features that we're adding to the bridge, and to cover a general increase in construction costs ... the founders have decided to re-open the sale of equity in Flying Truss, LLC. Accredited investors are invited to book your place at an informational session on the bridge in November HERE.

DONATE
As a public/private partnership, you can support the project through a fund at the Greater KC Community Foundation. There are a variety of ways to memorialize your gift, including naming rights.
