Fortune 500 company Fiserv has chosen Overland Park, Kansas, as the location for a new hub, creating 2,000 jobs over the next five years and generating a $6.5 billion economic impact over a decade. The project, described as the largest office recruitment in the state’s history, is contingent upon meeting certain conditions, including a $125 million investment in renovations and maintaining the 2,000 full-time employees by 2030. The company would receive tax rebates for city, county, and recreation commission property taxes but will pay full property taxes to the school district and community college levies.
Described as a significant step in modernizing and diversifying the state’s economy, Governor Laura Kelly highlighted Fiserv’s commitment to creating high-value career opportunities and attracting tech talent to the region. The company’s choice of Overland Park was influenced by its central location, proximity to clients, cost of living, and access to a tech talent pool. The decision to award the project to Overland Park was a significant win for the city, with Mayor Curt Skoog expressing excitement about the potential economic growth and job creation.
