“The idea of four prisons coming together to create a museum in one form or another is one that is not anywhere else in the country. We think that is truly an enormous benefit to you all.”
“The idea here is that those people won't have far to go to come visit the prisons museum. Frankly, we were a little stunned when we started putting those numbers together and started realizing the potential of this particular area. That in itself, we think, is a fabulous thing. This part of (greater) Kansas City is going to be a tourism area.”
“There's no better time. There's only going to be an increase in tourism in the next 20 years as the (baby) boomers retire. And prison museums are very, very popular among older people. We think you should get started.”
