Over the last decade, Wichita has drawn people downtown with an array of new housing options. And that same migration is happening with businesses. Cargill moved into its new $60 million headquarters in 2018. IMA left Rock Road for downtown in 2020. And now KeyCentrix has found a home at Douglas and Emporia. The tech company held an open house last week to formally celebrate its move.
