The Kansas Department of Transportation's Cost Share Program provides funding to enhance county roads, bridges, and the overall safety of Kansas roadways and walkways.

 In the latest round of grant money awarded by the state, the city of Parsons will be among those communities to get funding for transportation projects. The money headed to Parsons will be used to replace the sidewalks along Main Street. The grant were announced earlier this week by Governor Laura Kelly.

Kelly, along with Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed, announced the more than $12 million in grants that went to 16 construction projects across the state.
