Northwest Business Corridor, a $10.8 million project that became a reality in early November when Ellis County got word it had won a U.S. Department of Transportation grant, was celebrated recently and officials thanked for their efforts.
We look forward to this,” said Ellis County public works director Bill Ring last week, one of many thanking Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran for $6.5 million in federal highway money to build a Northwest Business Corridor around Hays. “We have a lot of what’s called superloads. It’s a couple-of-hundred feet long and it weighs 567,000 pounds. There’s two of those came through last week.”
Moran presented the Ellis County commissioners with an oversized cardboard check facsimile from the DOT.
Commission Chair Dean Haselhorst recalled the phone call from Moran in early November informing him Ellis County’s application had won the highly competitive BUILD grant.
