(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission Monday accepted a bid from a Kansas City, Missouri company to chip seal about 21 miles of county roadways this summer—including the Wathena baseball field parking lot.
The Commission accepted the low bid submitted by Vance Brothers for $591,564. It was among two bids received.
Plans are to chip seal about 9 miles in the First Road District, 6.5 miles in the Second Road District and 5.5 miles in the Third Road District.
In other business, County Economic Development Liaison Becky Gilmore informed the Commission that Doniphan County was awarded a $5,000 marketing grant by the Kansas Department of Commerce Office of Rural Prosperity to raise awareness of the Rural Opportunity Zone program.
With the funding, a billboard will be placed on the eastern end of the County, near Elwood, catching motorists attention as they enter Doniphan County from the west.
The billboard will remain up from April 28 through November 9th at cost of $4,800.
The Rural Opportunity Zone program provides student loan forgiveness and income tax waivers to those who relocate to rural areas in Kansas.
