Farmland cleanup costs loom over city budget
City projects cleanup of nitrogen fertilizer contamination at the Farmland site could reach up to 73.25 million dollars beyond the existing trust fund, with initial 2022 and 2023 spending planned and hopes for federal aid to offset costs. The plan includes a new remediation system, monitoring wells, and multiple contingencies, while Venture Park development and KDHE oversight shape the overall funding and timeline.
