Platte County is getting a new industry. The Platte County Industrial Development Authority has given preliminary approval for $8 million in industrial revenue bonds for the new headquarters and distribution facilities for Alfa-Laval, Inc. to be located at AirWorld Center near KCI.


More than 100 Platte County Republicans turned out Sunday in Platte Woods to officially open their 1980 headquarters and launch campaigns that will concentrate on county-wide offices. The headquarters are located in the K-Mart Plaza, 7110 NW Prairie View Road, Kansas City in Platte County.
