Child dies at Schlitterbahn in KCK
This is horrifying. Supposed to be a press conference soon with more details. Rumors seem to indicate it happened on the Verrukt, the world's tallest waterslide.

Yeah I think as long as there is an admission gate and tax revenue you're all good

Initial agreement was that they would use a local firm to build the park (not even a local union firm, just a local firm, period). They backed off of that as soon as the park was approved. Schwab was part of the group of KS politicians who allowed them to proceed despite reneging on that early agreement about using local resources. ^ as told to me by a friend who works in construction in KC area, whose firm was not involved in the bidding

I can't locate any articles about it, but it does appear that according to one article there were no property tax abatements issued. Not sure what other incentives may have been offered.

The City or County had to approve the building plans. Architects and Engineers had to sign and seal the design. The latter two should face the wrath.

Most likely the property had to be rezoned. I believe the waterslide exceeded the height restrictions in the area that required either a redesign or rezoning.
