Development Industrial park plan advances in Finney County
Finney County commissioners moved forward on an industrial park project after a unanimous vote approving a multi party agreement. Bonanza BioEnergy will seek state help for a 2.58 million railroad spur near its ethanol plant east of Garden City. The city and county will repay a 1 million dollar KDOT loan over ten years at 2 percent. KDOT will also grant 0.5 million dollars for the spur. In exchange the ethanol firm plans to sell a 50 acre parcel at U.S. 50 and Jennie Barker Road to the city or county for 1 dollar. The site has long attracted interest from potential industries.
