(KAIR)--A letter of support, seeking state funds for ADA renovations of a Doniphan County library and daycare facility, is being sent.

That follows last week’s meeting of the Doniphan County Commission where Economic Development Director Leah Johnson provided the Commission with a letter of support for application to the Kansas Department of Commerce TEFFI Strategic Economic Expansion and Development Program, known as SEED.
According to the unofficial minutes of the September 26 commission meeting, the letter presented “is on behalf of Doniphan County Library District Number 1-Elwood Branch, in the amount of $40,000 for ADA renovations and upgrades to [the] library building.”

Additionally, $10,000 is sought for use by Doniphan Darlings Daycare, in Highland, ‘for shade structure and education materials.”

Johnson told the commission while there were several opportunities for local economic development community development projects, the two selected-the library and daycare-”were prominent projects that best meet the qualifications of the SEED grant.”

A motion to sign-off on the letter of support was made, with the Commission giving it unanimous approval.
