A new day care and preschool facility may get to borrow additional money from the city, while another local business wants funding from the same pool. The Parsons City Commission will consider the two loan requests during its regular meeting on Tuesday. The commission is meeting on Tuesday instead of Monday because the city offices will be closed Monday for the Fourth of July holiday. The commission already had approved a $60,000 loan for Kandy Rushing, owner of Grow at Eden LLC, 1503 22000 Road, through a revolving loan program. Now she is seeking an additional $30,000 because of underestimated construction costs, Jim Zaleski, economic development director, said during a Thursday work session. Rushing and her husband, Kyler, bought an empty building at the southeast intersection of U.S. 59 and 22000 Road. They remodeled the building and added about 2,000 square feet to double the space. The Rushings also had landscaping work done.
