April 30, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--While the name "Kansas" may invoke images of vast plains of wheat fields, the state is belying this reputation with a significant amount of large industrial projects underway. Industrial Info is tracking more than $6.5 billion worth of projects under construction in Kansas. The state's position in agriculture leads its spending in the Food & Beverage Industry to be high, although the Industrial Manufacturing Industry is propelled to the state's leading spending position, thanks in large part to an automotive battery plant.
