Shawnee County is gearing up for numerous renovations and improvements around the county as we near the end of 2022. Shawnee County Commissioner Kevin Cook stopped by 27 News Friday morning to give us the details. People in Shawnee County voted in November to pass a ballot measure to pay for improvements to Gage Park. This will add a sales tax at an increment of .02% of a penny to improve the park, the Topeka Zoo and the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center. In August, commissioners voted to approve more than $10 million for the Shawnee County Jail.
