Leawood, Kan. – September 18, 2026: Attorney Aaron March helped secure a special use permit for a client who had been trying for five years to obtain permission to excavate sand from land adjacent to the Kansas River in Leavenworth County.
Kaw Valley Companies sought permission for excavation because of the geologically unique composition of the sand that makes it a valuable resource for products including silicon computer chips, fiberglass insulation, glass, and concrete. However, there was neighborhood opposition to the project. Aaron, using his deep experience navigating land use approvals throughout the Kansas City area, obtained approval this summer for a 25-year special use permit, which will allow Kaw Valley Companies to make a significant economic development investment in Leavenworth County, create jobs and tax revenue for the State of Kansas.
