About the Waldo Area Business Association

Waldo is a vibrant neighborhood and business District located in the heart of Kansas City. What began in 1841 as the farm of Dr. David Waldo, soon became a bustling neighborhood on the edge of the city – a town unto itself. Waldo has never lost its flavor of a fun, little family neighborhood on the edge of a big city. Today, you’ll find more than 600 businesses in Waldo, 60 percent of which are locally owned, surrounded by a family-oriented neighborhood. It’s a wonderful place to work, shop, live and play!

The Goals of the Organization:

to improve and maintain a safe, clean and attractive climate for business owners, their employees and customers
to interact with the community for the betterment of all concerned
to lobby the City, Area Transit Authority, and elected representatives in the matters affecting the area
to promote business growth in Waldo
to be a source of information for members about key issues that impact the area

Mission Statement:

Serving as champions of our community while preserving and advancing our vibrant inclusive culture.
