Unofficial results are in for a vote in Kechi on a proposed 1% sales tax to fund a special arts and business district. With 156 people voting “yes,” and 121 voting “no,” the question appears to have passed. Results become official once they’re canvassed by the Sedgwick County Commission. Assuming results stand in favor of the sales tax moving forward, the additional funding source will pay for improvements to sidewalks, parking, lighting and landscaping in the planned district near 61st Street North and Oliver.
