Council asks Kansas Department of Commerce to extend CDBG deadline for Star Block project to June 30
Summary
After Ranson Financial and a Star Block representative described delays opening a business in the Star Block Building, the council voted 7–0 to request a deadline extension for CDBG Project No. 22-CR-003 to June 30, 2026.
The Osage City Council on June 9 voted unanimously to request an extension from the Kansas Department of Commerce for Community Development Block Grant Project No. 22-CR-003 (the Star Block project), moving the project deadline to June 30, 2026 so at least one business can be open and operating.
Rose Mary Saunders of Ranson Financial explained delays that prompted the extension request and Rod Willis, representing the Star Block project, provided additional details and said the first merchant is expected to open later this month. Council Member Jeff Tice moved to request the extension and Council Member Cathryn Houghton seconded; the motion carried 7–0. The transcript identifies the grant project number but does not provide the underlying grant agreement text or terms beyond the deadline extension request.
