Kansas lawmakers push faster cleanup at Sunflower Army Plant
Sen Jerry Moran and Rep Kevin Yoder press for accelerated cleanup of the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant near De Soto. The Army resumed work after a five year shutdown and targets 2028 to finish cleaning 5,300 acres, a date leaders say is too distant but must be correct. Army officials note the date is flexible to ensure proper work.

County to consider rezoning request from Kanwaka Township
The Douglas County Commission will review a rezoning request by Kanwaka Township to expand a township yard. The 2.5 acre parcel near North 1700 Road and East 550 Road would shift from agricultural and residential to agricultural. The change stems from a prior partial land purchase and requires amending the conditional use permit before work can begin.
