  Relocate-America named Olathe as one of the 2008 Top Places To Live! They named only 100 winners and Olathe was the only Kansas city on the list! The interesting fact is, according to their website, this is the only list that is determined by statistics and feedback of the people who live, work & play in these communities. So it looks like some Olathe citizens are happy with their hometown and nominated us! Olathe's information page has general information on the city. It also has a link that says "find homes for sale in Olathe Kansas", but I would not recommend using this link because it doesn't say which database it uses to do it's home search.

Olathe just announced plans for a 11 story hotel and conference center that will be going in near K-10 and I-435, that is actually just a couple miles from my home in Olathe!  The hotel will be an Embassy Suites and is expected to be completed by the spring of 2010. Interestingly though, the Olathe City Council approved a 100% property-tax abatement for 10 years AND the hotel will not have to pay the city's hotel tax for 20 years. I guess that is the price of a convention center for Olathe! The new development is called Corporate Ridge and many buildings are already completed which include: Terracon, Farmers Insurance Group,Intrust Bank, Health Ridge Fitness Center, the National Board for Respiratory Care and Garmin International.
