KCP&L, a subsidiary of Great Plains Energy, announced Tuesday that the first phase of the restoration of a 106-acre tract of wetlands at the Iatan Generating Station began this week. When completed, Iatan will be home to one of the most unique wetlands along the Missouri River bottom, with improved water quality, stormwater retention and habitat for a diversity of plant and animal species, said Tom Robinson, the company’s information officer.


U.S. Sen. Kit Bond joined City of Riverside and Missouri Department of Transportation officials in celebrating the groundbreaking of the I-635 Horizons Parkway Interchange in Riverside. Sen. Bond secured $5 million for the project in the fiscal year 2005 Omnibus Appropriations Bill. Officials believe the interchange will open development opportunities for the area once threatened by flooding and now protected by the L-385 levee.
