The new Museum of Art and Light project is moving forward following the approval of $23 million in sales tax and revenue (STAR) bonds from the Kansas Department of Commerce. David Toland, Kansas lieutenant governor and secretary of commerce, confirmed the issuance of the bonds to the city via letter earlier this month. City manager Ron Fehr received the letter June 7, said Vivienne Uccello, public information officer. “We are certainly very pleased with the Department of Commerce approval for the project and eligibility for STAR Bond financing,” Fehr said in an email to The Mercury on Tuesday. “It certainly has great potential to be a significant attraction to the community, region, state and Midwest.”
