The Labette County Commission held a public hearing to discuss CDGB Grant Applications done by the City of Parsons for both Parsons and the county. Parsons Economic Development Director Jim Zalesk says the percentage of the funds distributed is going to depend on three categories.

If both Parsons and Labette County are approved for the grant they could each receive up to $300,000 in grant money to help local businesses who a struggling due to COVID-19. There is a chance that neither is approved or that one or the other is approved.
