NNSA is working with a small group of interested companies to further develop their approaches in support of potential reuse opportunities for the Bannister Federal Complex in south Kansas City.
In October 2011, the NNSA issued a Notice of Availability for the transfer, sale, or lease of its property at the Bannister Federal Complex. As a result, the NNSA received a substantial response from various companies, which included redevelopment plans that extended beyond the bounds of the NNSA property to include the GSA property. The current proposals include plans for the entire Complex, including NNSA’s portion and the portion owned by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).
NNSA, with GSA as a cooperating agency, is currently working on a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) study, which is analyzing multiple disposition plans related to the Bannister Federal Complex. Under NEPA, the study will consider the impact of each proposed federal action on the quality of the human environment.
Consistent with the NEPA process, NNSA will work with the small group of companies to further develop their approaches in support of potential reuse opportunities. This approach allows conceptual design and feasibility studies to be performed while not limiting the choice of reasonable alternatives available to the agency.
