City and county officials held a joint meeting Tuesday to review ongoing road work and a plan to realign and four lane Kansas Highway 156 at Mary Street and Jennie Barker Road.

The city may cover up to 845 thousand with excess sales tax funds. Crews plan about a year to complete the highway project once started. Separately, progress includes removing about 20 abandoned trailers at East Garden Village with owner cooperation, and plans to address 10 more deemed not habitable or dangerous.
