e City of Basehor, Basehor Chamber of Commerce and Leavenworth County Development Corporation have joined together in an effort to assist new and expanding businesses in Basehor. A Business Prospect Packet was prepared to give those businesses a step-by-step guide through the process for incentive applications, zoning changes, or plat and plan submittals. Included is a list of incentives offered and contacts for assistance. All data in this packet is also available on the three organization web sites. Local financial institutions and real estate companies have this information available as well.

Basehor, the fifth-fastest growing community in the state, is nestled between two major highways, US Highway 24/40 and Kansas Highway 7, and only minutes from interstates 435 and 70. From these easy to access roads, its just a 20 minute drive to Leavenworth, Lawrence, Overland Park, Olathe and numerous other areas in the metro including Kansas City International Airport, Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium.

Just a few minutes from Basehor is one of the state's top tourist attractions drawing more than 11 million visitors to the area. The Village West entertainment and tourism district in Western Wyandotte County includes the Kansas Speedway, Cabela's, The Great Wolf Lodge, Kansas City T-Bones Baseball and coming soon the Schlitterbahn Vacation Village. The shopping district includes Nebraska Furniture Mart and the Legends of Village West.
