The Labette County Commissioners approved $1.2 million of ARPA funds to be used to be matched by a new program called BASE.  The matching funds could be up to $3.6 million for a project to increase water for Great Plains.  The improvements at Great Plain could help encourage businesses to come to the industrial park.  The funds had already been set aside for Great Plains.  If the BASE program is not approved the money will go back to the county and can still be used by Great Plains.

In other business, the commissioners approved the purchase of two trucks for public works to be used for winter weather. Director of Noxious Weeds Ralph George gave the commission the yearly noxious weeds report.
