Montgomery County Dues Keep Regional Planning Backing
Montgomery County paid 1997.45, the final half of 1973 dues, saving possible loss of Southeast Kansas Regional Planning Commission support. The move enables full backing for projects and potential incorporation of the Area Agency on Aging under the commission. New planning initiatives include BOR funded recreational sites in Coffeyville and a US 75 road study from Caney to the Oklahoma line. A criminal justice planner grant of 10,047 was approved for six months with a 51-49 stakeholder mix.
