The Village of Loch Lloyd is a private gated resort-like community in northwestern Cass County, Missouri, United States, which lies adjacent the Kansas border on the south side of the Kansas City metropolitan area.
On October 26, 2023, Mayor Quinton Lucas of Kansas City addressed a significant concern in a letter directed to the Presiding Commissioner of Cass County, Missouri, Mr. Bob Huston.
[13] In an effort to prevent the landfill's development, Mayor Lucas proposed a solution: the secession of lands in South Kansas City to Cass County in exchange for the Village of Loch Lloyd.
Commissioner Huston expressed concern, stating that this proposition seemed to pit the residents of Cass County against each other.
Mayor Lucas emphasized the City's keen interest in the Loch Lloyd area, referring to it as a significant investment opportunity.
The board of trustees of Loch Lloyd underscored the village's longstanding independence since its incorporation in 2003.
In a letter disseminated to residents, the trustees affirmed that Loch Lloyd had no intention to align with Kansas City and highlighted that any annexation would necessitate their explicit consent.
