Overland Park officials will review a $1.12 billion proposal from Black and Veatch to rebuild its headquarters on Lamar Avenue and redevelop the surrounding neighborhood.

The plan includes a 612,000 square-foot building for 2,200 employees and mixed-use zoning for housing, retail and a community park — the proposal will be considered at the finance committee meeting on Wednesday.

The Kansas Prisoner Review Board reversed its decision to grant parole to Jimmie Nelms—convicted in the 1978 killing of Trooper Conroy O’Brien and serving two life terms after being eligible since 1993—when it denied his release at a May 16 hearing.

Kansas City metro law enforcement, including Overland Park police, are boosting seat belt checks under the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign to lower injuries and deaths.
