County seeks to free funds for road projects in Finney County
Finney County commissioners moved to lift a restriction on about 971000 dollars in excess sales tax revenue from 2005 to 2008 tied to the U S 50 400 Highway System Enhancement program. Holcomb must adopt the change too before funds can be used locally. Potential uses discussed include 150000 road improvements serving Holcomb, 750000 at Jennie Barker Road and KS 156, 71000 for frontage road maintenance, and lighting upgrades at Third Street intersection.
