Vewiser Dixon pursues positive changes in the South Vine Corridor

Vewiser Dixon has been acquiring land in the South Vine Corridor, south of the Historic Jazz District in Kansas City, hoping to build a "Black Silicon Valley." Dixon, born and raised in the 18th and Vine neighborhood, plans includes high-technology training and entrepreneurial support to encourage minority tech start-up companies. He also wants to help develop residential, retail and professional space around Lincoln College Preparatory Academy so students are surrounded by jobs and successful black-owned businesses.
