Childcare projects were discussed at the Wednesday board meeting of the Finney County Economic Development Corporation.
Board member Bob Kreutzer expressed concern over funding for the commitment FCEDC made to Empirical Food in regard to child care.
Kreutzer said they thought they were going to be able to solve a lot of the problem with SPARK funding but haven t received any for the child care project. That Empirical thing is going to mean a significant amount of impact on Finney County and Garden City and all surrounding area, he said. If we can t fulfill what we ve committed and this thing fails, I don t know where we ever talk to any other major corporation that s going to come to town.
