Riverside Community Development

Discover Riverside
The City of Riverside is a unique fourth class city located within the Kansas City Metro Area in the southeast corner of Platte County. The Missouri River defines the county's western and southern borders. A new levee has recently been completed and a beneficial revenue partnership with the Argosy Casino has helped create a surge in economic opportunities.

Expansion and Growth
Currently, Riverside is proactively encouraging economic development through an extensive capital improvement plan, guided by our award winning Master Plan. The City is poised for a major economic expansion with several development projects on the table, including Downtown Revitalization, South Downtown Projects, Upper Gateway Projects and the exciting Horizons Projects.

Tall grass is one of the most common code violations in Riverside.  City ordinance requires that grass be kept below 10 inches throughout the year.  If you have questions about this ordinance or have special issues related to your lawn, please contact the Code Enforcement Division at 816-741-3993.
