Overland Park, Kan., April 21, 2025 – In a major win for the State of Kansas and the Kansas City region, the Aspiria campus in Overland Park has been selected as the site of one of the largest job-creating economic development projects in state history.  The project, months in the making, will bring 2,000 new high-paying jobs to the city and inject a significant boost into the regional economy.

The Overland Park Chamber of Commerce, in close partnership with the Kansas Department of Commerce, the Kansas City Area Development Council (KCADC), and City of Overland Park staff, successfully positioned the city as the most competitive and welcoming location for the project, surpassing other top-tier contenders including Nashville, Tenn.; and Boca Raton, Fla.

Fiserv, a global leader in payments and financial technology, will establish a major operational hub in Overland Park. The company provides essential fintech and payment solutions to thousands of financial institutions and businesses around the world. This new location will be home to a wide range of high-tech financial services roles further strengthening Overland Park’s position as a growing hub for innovation and digital transformation in the financial sector.

The project represents a $125 million private investment in renovations and tenant improvements that will revitalize underutilized space and enhance Overland Park’s built environment. With an average wage of $102,000 (excluding executive-level roles), the project will support families and attract top-tier talent across a wide range of industries.

“We are proud to welcome Fiserv to Aspiria and Overland Park,” stated Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog.  “Overland Park is already a strong hub for business and technology leadership, and Fiserv is a natural fit in our community. The thousands of jobs Fiserv brings, along with the potential to serve neighboring businesses within our thriving community, is a significant win. I look forward to welcoming Fiserv leadership and their employees to our city."

“We are thrilled to welcome Fiserve to the Aspiria Campus in the heart of Overland Park,” says Tracey Osborne Oltjen, Chamber President and CEO.  “Fiserv’s significant investment and job creation reflect the strength of our community, the vibrancy of our local economy, and confidence in our community’s future. The high-paying jobs and innovation this project brings will amplify our strong fintech sector and have a lasting, positive impact throughout the region. This is the company’s first location in our region, and we’re proud to have partnered with Overland Park city leaders, the Kansas Department of Commerce, and KCADC to make it possible.”

The broader impact of this project is equally impressive. Based on a projected economic multiplier of 7.9, the 2,000 direct jobs created are expected to result in more than 15,800 total jobs influenced throughout the community. This includes sectors such as retail, restaurants, construction, engineering, utilities, housing, and transportation.

“This is a transformational project not only for Overland Park, but for the entire region,” said Libbey Tucker, Senior Vice President of Economic Development for the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce. “The scope and scale of this investment—both in terms of job creation and private capital—will deliver generational impact. It reflects the strength of our market, our commitment to business partnership, and the unique quality of life Overland Park offers to companies and their employees.”
