The Shawnee City Council on Monday unanimously approved a $300,000 grant to spur redevelopment of the Shawnee State Bank Building, a prominent property downtown at Johnson Drive and Nieman Road that has seen frequent tenant turnover in recent years. Why it matters: City leaders say the grant will help revitalize the 100-plus-year-old building that’s directly across from Shawnee City Hall and at the heart of the downtown district the city has been working to reinvigorate for several years. However, the building has struggled to keep tenants in place.
