Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announces $26 million to communities for road improvement projects.
The funding comes through the Kansas Department of Transportation City Connecting Link Improvement Program or C-CLIP. The City of Independence received $1.5 million from the program. City Engineer John Garris says the money will go to repair a much-used section of road.
Other area cities receiving funding include Coffeyville, which was awarded $1.2 million and Yates Center, which will get $1.5 million. Projects in Winfield, Ark City, and Pittsburg will also receive C-CLIP funds.
