KS Governor Laura Kelly

(KNZA)--Three area communities are among twenty-four rural Kansas communities that will receive a share of nearly $10.9 million through the Community Development Block Grant program to assist with community development projects.

Governor Laura Kelly announced the grant awards Friday, which include funding for projects in Holton, Hoyt and Morrill.

Kelly said the the grant funding will be matched with local funding, allowing more than $26.9 million to be made available for the identified local projects.

Holton was awarded a $650,000 grant for an expansion project at the Beck-Bookman Library. The grant will be matched with nearly $2.9 million in local funding. The existing library building will be remodeled and a new 5,200-square-foot addition constructed north of the existing facility.

Hoyt will receive a just over $538,000 grant for a sidewalk construction project along Highland Avenue and 4th Street. The grant will be matched with nearly $180,000 in local funding.

The Brown County Community of Morrill will receive a $180,000 grant for a sidewalk improvement project, which will be matched with $60,000 in local funding.
