Welcome to the City of Odessa

Odessa offers the best of both worlds: a strategic location along Interstate 70 with the character and connection of a close-knit community. Positioned between the Kansas City metro and mid-Missouri markets, Odessa provides businesses with direct access to regional transportation corridors that support freight, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and distribution opportunities.

Our community continues to grow while holding onto the values that make Odessa a great place to live, work, and invest. From a charming downtown district and strong local schools to community events, parks, and family-friendly neighborhoods, Odessa offers a quality of life that attracts both businesses and workforce talent.

The City of Odessa is committed to supporting thoughtful growth and long-term economic success. Our elected officials, city leadership, and community partners are unified around economic development, workforce expansion, and creating opportunities for future generations. We understand that successful development requires strong partnerships, responsive leadership, and a shared vision for the future.

Whether you are starting a business, expanding operations, relocating, or pursuing a new development project, our goal is to provide a streamlined and collaborative experience from start to finish. We are genuinely pleased you are considering bringing your talent, vision, and investment to Odessa.

Your work does more than create buildings or business opportunities. It strengthens neighborhoods, supports local families, grows our economy, and leaves a lasting impact on the community for generations to come. We value the expertise and commitment our business and development partners bring to the table, and we look forward to working alongside you to help your project succeed.
