Great Plains Industrial Park may soon benefit from a 3% franchise fee collected on electricity used within park boundaries. The park staff will use the money, estimated to be about $9,600 a year, for park infrastructure improvements. Labette County commissioners on Tuesday approved two resolutions related to the franchise fee to be collected by Evergy, the utility providing electricity to the 36 meters within park boundaries. … The Kansas Legislature gave former federal enclaves — Great Plains is on the land formerly occupied by the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant — the ability to collect franchise fees.
