Grant helping Salina revitalize river, bridges, and trail

On Thursday, Aug. 11, the Biden Administration announced nearly $47 million in funding for two transportation projects. One of the projects is in Salina. The project will revitalize the Smoky Hill River and trails and has been in the works for decades. The $22 million grant from the Raise Program will put the City of Salina one step closer. Senator Jerry Moran, who was helping with the grant, called city leaders on Tuesday morning to share the news. “We have worked for this for so many years, and it means so much to our community. They’ve been behind our projects, and it’s one of these things that is going to change our community for life,” said Martha Tasker, the director of utilities for the City of Salina.
