The Final

Report

We’ve never pulled punches before, so we won’t start now:

The Chung Report is ending.

Not because Wichita’s economy has stabilized. Not because we are retaining our top talent. Not because we have adequate capital flow to local entrepreneurs. And not because we have solved our perception issues. Those original four challenges are still there. But because our goal has always been to unify friends, competitors, colleagues and strangers to join the fight for a better Wichita. That we have done.

The Chung Report has always been about trying to highlight the best of our city and the people who work to make it better. Citizens who care deeply and are steadfast in the mission to rise above our projected decline. Wichita is a city of doers and dreamers - builders and achievers. And for all you who hear this call - it’s your moment.

Journalism matters and we want to demonstrate our commitment to it and this community with an investment in the News and Information Fund at the Wichita Community Foundation.

The goals are still the same: we’re fighting for an equitable and inclusive community, a thriving business environment, a steady flow of diverse talent, innovative ideas and a healthy sense of civic pride. And this fight is not just for us, but for generations to come.

Wichita needs you. How will you respond?
