(KNZA)--Doniphan County plans to re-apply for a grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce to help fund the construction of a new handicapped accessible ramp at the courthouse.
The County Commission Monday approved seeking a $326,000 Community Development Block grant for the project, following a hearing drawing no public comment.
The total estimated cost of the project is more than $390,000. If the grant is awarded, the county would provide about $65,000 in matching funds.
County officials say the improvement is intended to address ongoing accessibility issues associated with the existing electrical lift on the west side of the south entrance at the courthouse.
