GARDEN CITY – Western Kansas Community Foundation (WKCF) is awarding four community grants of $15,000 each to organizations in Cimarron, Lakin, Liberal and Hugoton following the November grant cycle.
The grants are part of the “Our Community, Our Future” initiative launched by WKCF earlier this year.
There has been much work going on throughout the Liberal community and Tuesday, City of Liberal staff gave updates one some of that work.
The presentation began with discussion of projects already completed.
Seward County EMS officials have estimated the department will receive a new ambulance by mid-January 2025.
Monday, county commissioners unanimously approved cutting a check for $50,654.75 to cover the cost of a power load and cot for that ambulance.
The project was started in 2022 at the county’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget hearings, and EMS Director John Ralston said the county has taken the fastest path to purchasing a new ambulance.
Citizens may have noticed crews working throughout the city on various projects and Tuesday, the community got to hear about some of those projects currently in progress.
