City eyes 1.1 million loan for Bonanza BioEnergy rail spur
Bonanza BioEnergy would spearhead a 2.58 million rail project near US 50 and Jennie Barker Road in Finney County, with a 1.0 million Kansas Department of Transportation loan share and a 0.5 million state grant. The plan includes a 50 acre industrial park and shared railroad spur to attract future industrial investment.
