Andrea Bough Takes Lead at EDCKC | Kansas City News

Kansas City’s economic development leadership just got a major shakeup: Andrea Bough, longtime City Council member and real estate veteran, has been appointed interim President and CEO of the Economic Development Corporation of Kansas City, effective immediately. She replaces Tracey Lewis, who stepped down after nearly two years in the role. Mayor Quinton Lucas praised Bough’s 25 years of local land use and development experience, calling her appointment essential to maintaining the city’s growth momentum. With Bough now stepping into this high-profile role, her City Council seat will need to be filled — a process that requires council approval. This move signals a strategic pivot toward deep-rooted, locally experienced leadership as Kansas City charts its next economic course.
