Several cities in Bourbon County will be busy this summer. Along with festivals and celebrations, many will be focusing on economic development. “There’s a lot of great things going on throughout the entire county, not just in Fort Scott, and we’re excited about it,” said Robert Harrington, Bourbon County REDI Exec. Director. This is in part thanks to the launch of the grant program from Bourbon County Regional Economic Develop Incorporated. “Since last year, our organization has given out $135,000 worth of grants, that a majority of them have been spent outside of the Fort Scott area,” said Harrington. Places like Redfield are working on building a storm shelter. Mapleton and Uniontown are making their parks ADA accessible.
