T-Mobile awards Fort Scott $50K grant to develop Market Street

T-Mobile is working to help improve 25 communities across the country, including one in southeast Kansas. Fort Scott was awarded a $50,000 dollar check from the company as part of its “Hometown Grant” initiative. The money will go towards creating a downtown greenspace and entrance pavilion at Market Street on Skubitz Plaza. “The Urban Renewal did away with Market Street, so with the fort down there, and just Skubitz Plaza, there’s a nice space to bring the community back together, the farmer’s market and just bring people back to Market Street,” said Josh Jones, Fort Scott Mayor.
