Kansas City’s Trozzolo Communications Group is adding 12 high-end jobs and investing $400,000 into its downtown headquarters.

Trozzolo bought the historic Nelkin-Piper Building back in 2010, and was one of the first companies to be a part of the rejuvenation of the area.

“Trozzolo’s investment is strengthening Kansas City’s economy as well as the heart and soul of its downtown,” said Mike Downing, director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. “This company adds to the area’s burgeoning small business scene, making it even more attractive for those looking for career opportunities in urban districts.”

The company says the new location has helped spur its growth and helped better serve its customers. Trozzolo has more than 60 staffers, and focuses on servicing Kansas City metro and Missouri clients such as McDonald’s Heart of America, Missouri Bank and the State of Missouri.

The Missouri Department of Economic Development has offered an economic incentive package if Trozzolo meets goals for job creation and capital investment.

“Trozzolo is the epitome of the Kansas City startup success story,” said Kansas City Mayor Sly James. “A homegrown effort that truly understands the value of investing in our city, our people and our future.
