County moves to advance TP&L rail spur with 50 acre site
Finney County officials approve grant applications for the TP&L rail project to expand gents and spurs at an inland port site. The plan calls for a March rail in place, a $2.7 million materials cost and $3.4 million in related work, with state and local funding uncertain. The project would add 40 direct and 85 indirect jobs and tie to a wind generation corridor serving western Kansas.
