Gov. Laura Kelly and Transportation Secretary Julie Lorenz announced this morning the 22 projects selected across the state as part of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s new Cost Share Program. These projects total nearly $74 million in state, local, federal and private investment in transportation improvements statewide.
Great Bend’s application to resurface most of 10th Street (US 56) and the SRCA Dragstrip was selected as one of the projects. Barton County’s push to make improvements at the Redwing intersection was also selected.
