Parsons Ur ban Renewal Project Receives State Boost
The 1971 Kansas Legislature allotted 500000 in state funds to Parsons for urban renewal, enabling a June 1972 contract for US 160 relocation between 16th and 22nd streets and a new Katy Railroad underpass at Corning. The state share, funded from state dollars, reduces Parsons cash needs for the 1.5 million project and provides a non cash credit against total costs.
