(KMZA)--A grant is being sought for the construction of a new senior citizens center and public transit building in Seneca.
Nemaha County Senior Services and Public Transit Director Diane Yunghans informed County Commissioners Monday that she has applied for a just over $314,00 grant through the Kansas Department of Transportation for the project.
Yunghans presented a preliminary floor plan for about a 50 by 90 foot building.
If the grant is awarded and enough donations are received from the public, plans are to construct the building just east of the Pioneer Building.
The grant requires a ten percent local match, with the county’s match being donation of the land where the building is to be constructed.
The total estimated project cost is placed at just over $698,000.
Yunghans says she hopes to hear back from KDOT later this month or the first week of October.
