(KNZA)--Plans for accessibility improvements at the Doniphan County Courthouse move forward.

A hearing was held at Monday's Doniphan County Commission meeting on the county's plans to seek a Community Development Block Grant through the Kansas Department of Commerce for an ADA modification project.

According to the unofficial meeting minutes, no public comment was received.

On hand to discuss the grant application were representatives of the MO-Kan Regional Council.

The project would add an ADA accessible ramp to the south side of the courthouse building. The new ramp would replace the current electrical lift, which has faced technical and weather-related challenges. The project would allow individuals to access the courthouse independently.

The total project cost is estimated at $333,370, with the grant request for $200,000. If the grant is awarded, the county would provide a 50 percent match or $166,685.
