Friends of the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library in Junction City have been awarded $75,000 in state tax credits through the Community Service Tax Credit Program sponsored by the State Department of Commerce. Funds raised through the program are dedicated to the project to build a new public library for the Junction City / Fort Riley / Geary County area.
The program provides a 50% tax credit to the donors who purchase them in the form of a direct deduction from the donor's state tax obligation.
The Geary County project was one of 29 awarded this year. While some of the tax credits were spoken for in the form of pledges made during the application process, there are still credits available for donors to purchase.
