Cost-share program to help fund 24 transportation projects in Kansas

New roads and bridges, and the jobs that come with them, are on their way to Kansas. The state’s “Cost Share Project” announced that it will fund 24 transportation projects across the Sunflower State. Projects in Newton and Eudora could begin before the end of the year. Other projects could begin in 2021. Governor Laura Kelly says building infrastructure now could create lasting jobs and opportunities in Kansas. “Transportation investments don’t just create short term construction jobs,” she says. “They have the ability to change long-term economic outcomes for communities that have lost populations and businesses. We know that investing in infrastructure benefits existing businesses and encourages new businesses to locate in Kansas.”

City of Lawrence agrees to purchase house found to have century-old city tunnel underneath

The City of Lawrence has agreed to purchase the house of a couple who sued the city after discovering a century-old tunnel directly under their home. Sarah Merriman and Donna Geisler bought their house at 812 Ohio St. in 2017 with plans to demolish the ranch home on the property and build a bungalow with a basement. Those plans were disrupted when it was discovered that a city drainage tunnel ran corner to corner under the home, at a depth of only a few feet, even though no easement was recorded with the city.

The small community of Haven decided to open up a farmers market twice a month. After mulling over the idea for years, the Chamber of Commerce thought this year was the time to act.

The farmers market will take place from 5-7 p.m. on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. “We’re trying to grow this organically,” said Shannin Rettig, secretary at the chamber. “Eighty-five percent of the vendors are from Haven.”

Although they didn’t meet as much during the stay at home time of COVID-19, the grocery store task force continues to work to actively bring a grocer back to the Hesston community. In fact, last week they met with a potential owner/operator for a grocery store in Hesston. Chamber of Commerce Director Megan Smith, who sits on the task force, said that the potential store owner is local to Kansas and is a pre-existing owner/operator considering the possibility of expanding to Hesston. “We had a very positive conversation, both, I believe, from our perspective and from their perspective,” Smith said. “We’re still in the very early stages of these conversations but I’m hopeful that we’re on the right path.”

With 4 city employees testing positive for COVID-19, Mission council discusses particulars of mask rules, quarantines

The Mission City Council Monday evening discussed Gov. Laura Kelly’s statewide mask mandate and concerns with exceptions in light of news that four city staff members have tested positive for COVID-19 to date — though not all of the cases came at the same time. Although Mission is adhering to the statewide mandate, the city council briefly discussed enforcement and current procedures when staff members test positive for coronavirus. As positive cases are identified, other staff members who may have been in close contact with that person are taking precautionary measures and self-quarantining for 14 days, City Administrator Laura Smith said.

Keeping Pittsburg beautiful one project at a time

In 1998, a small group of citizens got together to discuss how they could help beautify the city, and make Pittsburg a place prospective residents and visitors would like to live. These early members formed the “Mayor’s Beautification Committee” later to be renamed “Pittsburg Beautiful.” For 22 years, this group of around 15 community members has organized, funded, and implemented multiple projects to enhance city parks and landmarks. Their numbers may be small but their influence has been significant. Pittsburg Beautiful, working hand in hand with parks and recreation staff, is responsible for maintaining a number of green spaces in the city. While shopping downtown, have you noticed the petunias hanging from the light poles or stopped to smell the flowers planted in the decorative urns along Broadway? While driving into the city at Christmas time, have you admired the festive twinkle lights adorning the “Welcome to Pittsburg” signs? If so, you have appreciated the efforts of their volunteerism.
