Applications must be submitted by 11:29 p.m. Feb. 28th. Geary County will seek support for Geary Community Hospital, Junction City will seek funding for water and infrastructure on the west side of town, Aging Well is going after funding for their senior living project and Konza Prairie Community Health Center will be seeking support for childcare.
