Riverside Community Development

Discover Riverside
The City of Riverside is a unique fourth class city located within the Kansas City Metro Area in the southeast corner of Platte County. The Missouri River defines the county's western and southern borders. A new levee has recently been completed and a beneficial revenue partnership with the Argosy Casino has helped create a surge in economic opportunities.

Expansion and Growth
Currently, Riverside is proactively encouraging economic development through an extensive capital improvement plan, guided by our award winning Master Plan. The City is poised for a major economic expansion with several development projects on the table, including Downtown Revitalization, South Downtown Projects, Upper Gateway Projects and the exciting Horizons Projects.

As summer approaches and more kids are outside, take a moment and check your speed in neighborhoods.  Most residential streets in Riverside are 20 or 25 mph and, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, driving just 10 mph over this speed limit triples the likelihood of a crash and increases the odds of a hit pedestrian dying by more than 400%.  Do your part to keep our community safe by slowing down in neighborhoods and being aware of pedestrian traffic.
