KDOT Announces US 69 Highway Study Meetings and Comprehensive Plan Survey Sessions

Crawford County officials are gearing up for a series of important meetings aimed at addressing community needs and infrastructure planning. The upcoming events, scheduled for early June, will focus on budget discussions and a significant highway study that could impact local transportation.

On June 3, a budget work session will take place with department heads, where Mr. Mark Lehman, Chairperson of the Crawford County Conservation District, is expected to present a budget proposal. This session is crucial as it sets the financial priorities for the county, directly affecting services and programs that residents rely on.

The following days will see a series of meetings hosted by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) regarding the US 69 highway study. On June 4, local officials will gather at Sacred Heart Catholic Church from 9:30 to 10:30 AM to discuss the study, followed by an open house from 11 AM to 1 PM. The conversation will continue on June 5 at the Homer Cole Community Center and Northeast High School, providing multiple opportunities for community input. These discussions are vital as they will shape future transportation plans and infrastructure improvements in the area.

Additionally, on June 5 at 6 PM, a Comprehensive Plan Survey and Zoning Information meeting will be held, led by Mr. Josh Alden. This meeting aims to engage the public in discussions about zoning and planning, responding to requests from community members for more information on these topics.

These upcoming meetings reflect Crawford County's commitment to transparency and community involvement in decision-making processes. Residents are encouraged to participate and voice their opinions, as these discussions will have lasting effects on the county's development and services.
