You could easily argue it put Kansas City on the map.

Kansas City is at least a well known name in the tech world now, when there's plenty of other midwest cities of similar size that rarely get brought up.

Millions would be a steal for the revenue becoming a tech hub would bring in. Even if it does take a more than a decade to be realized.

I didn't say popular.

Cities of similar size: Albuquerque, Milwaukee, Louisville, Oklahoma City (and more).

Out of these, Kansas City comes up more often tech wise. I waste a good bit of time on sites like this discussing tech related matters, and not once have I read an article involving any of these cities.

This is why I said well known and on the map, not 'popular'.

How did giving Applebee's a tax discount put KC on the map for tech?
