The City began construction on the new Farmers’ Market and Downtown Gathering Space Improvement project in December 2024. Reconstruction of this facility is an important 30+ year investment in downtown Overland Park.
After taking ideas from the community, the Overland Park City Council approved a new name for the construction project in Downtown Overland Park on Jan. 27, 2024. The area will now be called “Clock Tower Landing.”
The City launched a community engagement process in November, asking residents, Downtown Overland Park visitors, farmers’ market vendors and shoppers to share their ideas for the project.
The City developed the name from suggestions the community provided. The selected name expands on an existing, familiar downtown landmark. It includes a playful connection to the area’s history as an early 1900s aviation hub and its future as a community gathering space.
This project page will be updated throughout construction. Please check back for updates.
Please note the 2025 market season will take place at Matt Ross Community Center, 8101 Marty Street, to allow space for the Farmers’ Market and Downtown Gather Space Improvement Project.
The City strategically planned the construction of this important investment to minimize the impact on farmers’ market operations. The Overland Park Farmers’ Market will operate the 2025 season at Matt Ross Community Center, just two blocks away on Marty Street.
The project is expected to be complete in the summer of 2026, in time for the Kansas City metropolitan area to host six World Cup games.
Mayor Curt Skoog shared a closer look at plans for Clock Tower Landing at his 2025 State of the City Address.

Additionally, the farmers’ market operations close down Marty Street on market days, improving walkability and bikeability in Downtown Overland Park. The project will include bike and scooter parking.
