 Junction City Main Street has announced that Kansas Department of Commerce is holding community development block grant Roadshow events across the state, and the Flint Hills Regional Council is hosting this region's event in Junction City on Thursday.

If you are interested in learning about Community Development Block Grants available for cities and counties to apply for, come attend the CDBG Roadshow event at the Junction City Municipal Building on Feb. 2 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The CDBG team will discuss the types of projects funded, eligibility, and requirements for successful applications in these areas: Youth Job Training, Early Child Education and Care Facilities, Community Facilities and Services (parks, libraries, sidewalks, and trails), and Architectural Barrier Removal (making buildings accessible). There will be time for project planning discussions and questions with Commerce staff and staff from regional planning agencies.
