By: Joe Strupp A $199-million printing plant that will be built so as to allow passersby a peek into production operations is planned for
The Kansas City (Mo.)
Star, the newspaper reported Thursday.
The
Star will break ground for the 430,000-square-foot building in downtown Kansas City this November, with its operations projected to start in 2006, according to Arthur S. Brisbane, the paper's president and publisher. He told the
Star that the paper also will move to a 50-inch web width when the plant goes into operation.
The project marks a major investment by the
Star's parent, Knight Ridder. Said Brisbane, "The decision by Knight Ridder is a very clear expression of the belief the newspaper has a very long life ahead of it."
