Garden City approves funds for Jennie Barker road project
Garden City commissioners vote to fund about 350000 for the engineering phase of Jennie Barker Road improvements from U S 50 to K-156. KDOT plans the project for 2005 and the panel also approves a bond to finance an electric service center and a 13 million loan package for Wheatland Osmo water project connections. A hospital expansion at St Catherine is approved, while social funding reviews stall with no committee in place.
