Finney County Rebuilds After ConAgra Fire Ten Years On
Ten years after ConAgra beef plant burned in Finney County the abandoned site still marks the county’s past. The loss of 2,300 jobs pushed unemployment above 10 percent as schools saw smaller enrollments and state aid. Since then growth arrived with a new high school, a four lane US 50 bypass, an ethanol plant, and major development east of Garden City with diverse residents and refugees. City leaders note progress, including a Sunflower Electric coal unit seek permit with potential 2,000 peak jobs, reflecting broad economic recovery.
