Message from the Mayor

Imagine a place with exceptional schools, world-class health care, and safe and secure neighborhoods. The kind of place where you immediately feel right at home. Welcome to Lee’s Summit. 

A place where you can stroll through historic downtown streets as the faint sound of a train whistle transports you back in time. That place is right here, right now. I invite you to come see for yourself what makes Lee’s Summit truly a place that represents the best life has to offer.

Yours Truly,

Mayor Bill Baird
