Corporate HQs carry tremendous weight in civic causes - KansasCity.com: "Fortunately, we’re still home to corporations — both public and private — that have economic heft. That includes:
Sprint Nextel, YRC Worldwide, Seaboard, H&R Block, Ferrellgas Partners, AMC Entertainment, Great Plains Energy, DST Systems, Inergy Holdings, Kansas City Southern, Cerner, Garmin, Hallmark Cards, Black & Veatch, Burns & McDonnell, Associated Wholesale Grocers and J.E. Dunn Construction.
How important is a list like that? Very.
As Sprint CEO Dan Hesse emphasized Wednesday at a chamber of commerce event, those companies either employ thousands of local workers — who buy housing, food and other goods and services here and contribute volunteer time and money — or they sell millions of dollars in goods or services — the profits on which return here for reinvestment."
