The City of Newton and Harvey County share maintenance responsibilities for the differing sides of E. First Street. The city also upkeeps a section of the road stretching out to Hillside. The county has the responsibility to upkeep the road from Hillside on. Due to existing and possible development at the Kansas Logistics Park, as well as the airport, the city has sought to expand and improve E. First Street from Newton to Oliver. As the city and county co-own both the airport and the Logistics Park, the city asked the county to share in the costs of the entire study.
