(KLZA)--A state grant will be sought for the Richardson County's handi-bus program.
The County Commission Tuesday approved having Southeast Nebraska Community Action submit a grant application to the Nebraska Department of Roads for a $62,000 grant.
The Commission also approved entering into an agreement with SENCA to administer the grant funding.
Commissioners were told that SENCA has been offered an opportunity through the state Department of Roads public transportation assistance funds to purchase a 7-passenger van for $23,000.
It would require a 10-percent match from local sources.
The Board will consider the request for additional funding for the 10-percent match during their January 30th meeting.
