Garden City Finney County move forward on a $4.3 million plan to redesign the K-156 North Jennie Barker Road and Mary Street intersection.

Local share remains about $8,400 from excess sales tax funds 2005 2008. Motorists should expect slower traffic and minor inconvenience during construction, but the safer roadway justifies the cost.
