Johnson County neighbors organize in opposition to 600-acre Edgerton warehouse project Wayne Davis, a retired truck driver, moved out to rural southern Johnson County from Mission more than 20 years ago to get closer to nature and have more space for his grandchildren to run around. He worries a 636-acre warehouse project across the street from his property (towards where he s pointing in the above picture) would threaten that. Photo credit Leah Wankum.
For Wayne Davis, a truck driver for Associated Wholesale Grocers, the move down Interstate 35 from Mission to rural Edgerton in 1998 was a dream come true.
Only a 30-minute drive from his job in Kansas City, Kan., the house in Edgerton on 14 acres gave Davis and his wife more room to enjoy the country and, eventually, have grandkids visit.
