The museum has already secured $1 million for construction of the new building, planned for the intersection of 18th Street and Paseo, from Bank of America. The bulk of funds are expected to come from private financers.
Kansas City’s Negro Leagues Baseball Museum will get a newer, bigger home, museum officials announced on Tuesday.
The new museum will be built adjacent to the historic Paseo YMCA on 18th and Paseo, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum President Bob Kendrick said at a news conference at the museum’s current home in the heart of the Historic 18th and Vine District, where it opened in 1997.
“Just like the Negro Leagues, it is important that we continue to dare to dream,” Kendrick said.
