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

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