Plant Financing Study Is Needed For Final Decision
A coalition of three Kansas City and Wichita bonding firms will provide only 600000 of the 1500000 bonds needed to move a St. Louis industry to Chanute. They proposed financing up to 12 million dollars if the industry shows sufficient profit and efficiency savings from the move. The companies may still back more of the loan after an engineering study evaluates potential savings and costs.
