Bannister Federal Complex, Federal industrial complex in Kansas City, Missouri
The Bannister Federal Complex spans 309 acres at the intersection of Troost Avenue and Bannister Road, bordered by the Blue River and Indian Creek.
Construction began in 1942 when Harry Truman initiated the development of a Pratt and Whitney facility for manufacturing airplane engines during World War II.
The location previously served as the Kansas City Speedway, featuring a wooden oval track where racing champion Tommy Milton won the inaugural race in 1922.
The complex manufactured non-nuclear components for defense systems until 2017, when Bannister Transformation & Development LLC acquired 225 acres of the property.
The site contains multiple environmental concerns, including industrial chemicals, solvents, and low-level radioactive materials in soil and groundwater requiring ongoing remediation.
